On the Optimality of the Dimensionality Reduction Method
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...

Practical Approaches to Principal Component Analysis in the Presence of Missing Values
Principal component analysis (PCA) is a classical data analysis technique that finds linear transformations of data that retain the maximal amount of variance. We study a case whe...

A Convergent Reinforcement Learning Algorithm in the Continuous Case: The Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning
This paper presents a direct reinforcement learning algorithm, called Finite-Element Reinforcement Learning, in the continuous case, i.e. continuous state-space and time. The eval...
