Direct Policy Search using Paired Statistical Tests
Direct policy search is a practical way to solve reinforcement learning problems involving continuous state and action spaces. The goal becomes finding policy parameters that maxi...

Scalable graph clustering using stochastic flows: applications to community discovery
Algorithms based on simulating stochastic flows are a simple and natural solution for the problem of clustering graphs, but their widespread use has been hampered by their lack of...

Perceptual Grouping and Segmentation by Stochastic Clustering
We use cluster analysis as a unifying principle for problems from low, middle and high level vision. The clustering problem is viewed as graph partitioning, where nodes represent ...

Optimal control of tandem reentrant queues
We consider optimal policies for reentrant queues in which customers may be served several times at the same station. We show that for tandem reentrant queues the lastbuffer-fir...

Online Learning for Matrix Factorization and Sparse Coding
Sparse coding—that is, modelling data vectors as sparse linear combinations of basis elements—is widely used in machine learning, neuroscience, signal processing, and statisti...
