Pointer analysis is one of the most important static analyses during compilation. While several enhancements have been made to scale pointer analysis, the work on parallelizing the...
In this paper we study the convergence properties of the power series algorithm, which is a general method to determine (functions of) stationary distributions of Markov chains. W...
A new training algorithm is presented for delayed reinforcement learning problems that does not assume the existence of a critic model and employs the polytope optimization algorit...
