Hierarchical POMDP Controller Optimization by Likelihood Maximization
Planning can often be simplified by decomposing the task into smaller tasks arranged hierarchically. Charlin et al. [4] recently showed that the hierarchy discovery problem can be...

Particle Swarm Optimization for Tackling Continuous Review Inventory Models
We propose an alternative algorithm for solving continuous review inventory model problems for deteriorating items over a ļ¬nite horizon. Our interest focuses on the case of timeā...

Bayesian approaches to failure prediction for disk drives
Hard disk drive failures are rare but are often costly. The ability to predict failures is important to consumers, drive manufacturers, and computer system manufacturers alike. In...
