In many applications, data appear with a huge number of instances as well as features. Linear Support Vector Machines (SVM) is one of the most popular tools to deal with such larg...

We derive a robust Euclidean embedding procedure based on semidefinite programming that may be used in place of the popular classical multidimensional scaling (cMDS) algorithm. We...
We introduce Hidden Process Models (HPMs), a class of probabilistic models for multivariate time series data. The design of HPMs has been motivated by the challenges of modeling h...

Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
MDPs are an attractive formalization for planning, but realistic problems often have intractably large state spaces. When we only need a partial policy to get from a fixed start s...
