An Approach to Formal Verification of Arithmetic Functions in Assembly
Abstract. It is customary to write performance-critical parts of arithmetic functions in assembly: this enables finely-tuned algorithms that use specialized processor instructions....

Polynomial Time Summary Statistics for Two general Classes of Functions
In previous work we showed, by Walsh analysis, that summary statistics such as mean, variance, skew, and higher order statistics can be computed in polynomial time for embedded la...

Geometric Variance Reduction in Markov Chains: Application to Value Function and Gradient Estimation
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...

Cubature formulas for function spaces with moderate smoothness
We construct simple algorithms for high-dimensional numerical integration of function classes with moderate smoothness. These classes consist of square-integrable functions over t...

Evolution of reward functions for reinforcement learning
The reward functions that drive reinforcement learning systems are generally derived directly from the descriptions of the problems that the systems are being used to solve. In so...
