Boosting is a popular way to derive powerful learners from simpler hypothesis classes. Following previous work (Mason et al., 1999; Friedman, 2000) on general boosting frameworks,...
Multiarmed bandit problem is a typical example of a dilemma between exploration and exploitation in reinforcement learning. This problem is expressed as a model of a gambler playi...
Modeling consistency of style in isogenous fields of patterns (such as character patterns in a word from the same font or writer) can improve classification accuracy. Since such p...
As the size and complexity of VLSI circuits increase, the need for faster floorplanning algorithms also grows. In this work we introduce Traffic, a new method for creating wire- a...
A square is the concatenation of two identical non-empty strings. Let S be the input string which is given character by character. Let m be the (unknown) smallest integer such that...
