Many applications require optimizing an unknown, noisy function that is expensive to evaluate. We formalize this task as a multiarmed bandit problem, where the payoff function is ...

PAC-MDP algorithms approach the exploration-exploitation problem of reinforcement learning agents in an effective way which guarantees that with high probability, the algorithm pe...
Fitting data by a bounded complexity linear model is equivalent to low-rank approximation of a matrix constructed from the data. The data matrix being Hankel structured is equival...
Today, large scale parallel systems are available at relatively low cost. Many powerful such systems have been installed all over the world and the number of users is always incre...
