This paper considers a real-time algorithm for performance optimization of switched-mode hybrid dynamical systems. The controlled parameter consists of the switching times between ...
We propose Shotgun, a parallel coordinate descent algorithm for minimizing L1regularized losses. Though coordinate descent seems inherently sequential, we prove convergence bounds...

In this paper we propose differential eligibility vectors (DEV) for temporal-difference (TD) learning, a new class of eligibility vectors designed to bring out the contribution of...
Option contracts are a type of financial derivative that allow investors to hedge risk and speculate on the variation of an asset’s future market price. In short, an option has...
