When Policies Can Be Trusted: Analyzing a Criteria to Identify Optimal Policies in MDPs with Unknown Model Parameters
Computing a good policy in stochastic uncertain environments with unknown dynamics and reward model parameters is a challenging task. In a number of domains, ranging from space ro...

Polylogarithmic Independence Can Fool DNF Formulas
We show that any k-wise independent probability distribution on {0, 1}n O(m2.22− √ k/10)fools any boolean function computable by an m-clause DNF (or CNF) formula on n variable...

New greedy myopic and existing asymptotic sequential selection procedures: preliminary empirical results
Statistical selection procedures can identify the best of a finite set of alternatives, where “best” is defined in terms of the unknown expected value of each alternative’...

Dirichlet process mixture models with multiple modalities
The Dirichlet process can be used as a nonparametric prior for an infinite-dimensional probability mass function on the parameter space of a mixture model. The set of parameters o...
