Abstract. We formulate the problem of least squares temporal difference learning (LSTD) in the framework of least squares SVM (LS-SVM). To cope with the large amount (and possible ...
In this paper, we study the problem of data gathering in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. To tackle the high degree of channel contention and high probability of packet collisi...
The observations in many applications consist of counts of discrete events, such as photons hitting a detector, which cannot be effectively modeled using an additive bounded or Ga...
