Fast Approximate PCPs
We investigate the question of when a prover can aid a verifier to reliably compute a function faster than if the verifier were to compute the function on its own. Our focus is ...

Improving Approximate Value Iteration Using Memories and Predictive State Representations
Planning in partially-observable dynamical systems is a challenging problem, and recent developments in point-based techniques such as Perseus significantly improve performance as...

Approximating Optimal Policies for Agents with Limited Execution Resources
An agent with limited consumable execution resources needs policies that attempt to achieve good performance while respecting these limitations. Otherwise, an agent (such as a pla...

Sums of squares based approximation algorithms for MAX-SAT
We investigate the Semidefinite Programming based Sums of squares (SOS) decomposition method, designed for global optimization of polynomials, in the context of the (Maximum) Sati...

Arrival Rate Approximation by Nonnegative Cubic Splines
Estimating the arrival rate function of a non-homogeneous Poisson process based on observed arrival data is a problem naturally arising in many applications. Cubic spline function...
