Solving Factored MDPs with Continuous and Discrete Variables
Although many real-world stochastic planning problems are more naturally formulated by hybrid models with both discrete and continuous variables, current state-of-the-art methods ...

A Direct Formulation for Sparse PCA Using Semidefinite Programming
We examine the problem of approximating, in the Frobenius-norm sense, a positive, semidefinite symmetric matrix by a rank-one matrix, with an upper bound on the cardinality of its...

Algorithm-Directed Exploration for Model-Based Reinforcement Learning in Factored MDPs
One of the central challenges in reinforcement learning is to balance the exploration/exploitation tradeoff while scaling up to large problems. Although model-based reinforcement ...

Efficient Solutions to Factored MDPs with Imprecise Transition Probabilities
When modeling real-world decision-theoretic planning problems in the Markov decision process (MDP) framework, it is often impossible to obtain a completely accurate estimate of tr...

Constant factor approximation algorithm for the knapsack median problem
We give a constant factor approximation algorithm for the following generalization of the k-median problem. We are given a set of clients and facilities in a metric space. Each fa...
