The versatility of exponential families, along with their attendant convexity properties, make them a popular and effective statistical model. A central issue is learning these mo...
Abstract. On product domains, sparse-grid approximation yields optimal, dimension-independent convergence rates when the function that is approximated has L2-bounded mixed derivati...
In this paper, we present a new algorithm that integrates recent advances in solving continuous bandit problems with sample-based rollout methods for planning in Markov Decision P...

We study integrality gaps for SDP relaxations of constraint satisfaction problems, in the hierarchy of SDPs defined by Lasserre. Schoenebeck [25] recently showed the first integra...
—Various studies have pointed out the debilitating effects of OS Jitter on the performance of parallel applications on large clusters such as the ASCI Purple and the Mare Nostrum...
