Competing in the Dark: An Efficient Algorithm for Bandit Linear Optimization
We introduce an efficient algorithm for the problem of online linear optimization in the bandit setting which achieves the optimal O ( T) regret. The setting is a natural general...

Playing games with approximation algorithms
In an online linear optimization problem, on each period t, an online algorithm chooses st S from a fixed (possibly infinite) set S of feasible decisions. Nature (who may be adve...

Fast direct policy evaluation using multiscale analysis of Markov diffusion processes
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...

Discriminative K-SVD for Dictionary Learning in Face Recognition
In a sparse-representation-based face recognition scheme, the desired dictionary should have good representational power (i.e., being able to span the subspace of all faces) while...
