VDCBPI: an Approximate Scalable Algorithm for Large POMDPs
Existing algorithms for discrete partially observable Markov decision processes can at best solve problems of a few thousand states due to two important sources of intractability:...

Approximate Capacity of Gaussian Relay Networks
We present an achievable rate for general Gaussian relay networks. We show that the achievable rate is within a constant number of bits from the information-theoretic cut-set uppe...

Convex approximations to sparse PCA via Lagrangian duality
We derive a convex relaxation for cardinality constrained Principal Component Analysis (PCA) by using a simple representation of the L1 unit ball and standard Lagrangian duality. ...

Improved Approximation of Linear Threshold Functions
We prove two main results on how arbitrary linear threshold functions f(x) = sign(w · x − θ) over the n-dimensional Boolean hypercube can be approximated by simple threshold f...

Property Testing Lower Bounds via Communication Complexity
We develop a new technique for proving lower bounds in property testing, by showing a strong connection between testing and communication complexity. We give a simple scheme for r...
