A Cost-Shaping LP for Bellman Error Minimization with Performance Guarantees
We introduce a new algorithm based on linear programming that approximates the differential value function of an average-cost Markov decision process via a linear combination of p...

Subspace pursuit method for kernel-log-linear models
This paper presents a novel method for reducing the dimensionality of kernel spaces. Recently, to maintain the convexity of training, loglinear models without mixtures have been u...

Bayesian sparse image reconstruction for MRFM
In this paper, we propose a Bayesian model and a Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) algorithm for reconstructing images that consist of only few non-zero pixels. An appropriate distr...

Arccosine kernels: Acoustic modeling with infinite neural networks
Neural networks are a useful alternative to Gaussian mixture models for acoustic modeling; however, training multilayer networks involves a difficult, nonconvex optimization that...

Methods and Applications of (MAX, +) Linear Algebra
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
