We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
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...
Query reformulation techniques based on query logs have recently proven to be effective for web queries. However, when initial queries have reasonably good quality, these techniqu...
K Nearest Neighbor search has many applications including data mining, multi-media, image processing, and monitoring moving objects. In this paper, we study the problem of KNN over...
