Solving Factored MDPs with Exponential-Family Transition Models
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...

Local stability analysis using simulations and sum-of-squares programming
The problem of computing bounds on the region-of-attraction for systems with polynomial vector fields is considered. Invariant subsets of the region-of-attraction are characterize...

Post-Processing Hierarchical Community Structures: Quality Improvements and Multi-scale View
Dense sub-graphs of sparse graphs (communities), which appear in most real-world complex networks, play an important role in many contexts. Most existing community detection algori...

ASAGA: an adaptive surrogate-assisted genetic algorithm
Genetic algorithms (GAs) used in complex optimization domains usually need to perform a large number of fitness function evaluations in order to get near-optimal solutions. In rea...
