Structured Learning with Approximate Inference
In many structured prediction problems, the highest-scoring labeling is hard to compute exactly, leading to the use of approximate inference methods. However, when inference is us...

Parameterizing pair approximations for takeover dynamics
Pair approximations have often been used to predict equilibrium conditions in spatially-explicit epidemiological and ecological systems. In this work, we investigate whether this ...

Discretized Approximations for POMDP with Average Cost
In this paper, we propose a new lower approximation scheme for POMDP with discounted and average cost criterion. The approximating functions are determined by their values at a fi...

Sparse approximation property and stable recovery of sparse signals from noisy measurements
—In this paper, we introduce a sparse approximation property of order s for a measurement matrix A: xs 2 ≤ D Ax 2 + β σs(x) √ s for all x, where xs is the best s-sparse app...

Polynomial Regression with Automated Degree: A Function Approximator for Autonomous Agents
In order for an autonomous agent to behave robustly in a variety of environments, it must have the ability to learn approximations to many different functions. The function approx...
