Estimation and Approximation Bounds for Gradient-Based Reinforcement Learning
We model reinforcement learning as the problem of learning to control a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (  ¢¡¤£¦¥§  ), and focus on gradient ascent approache...

Approximating Maximum Subgraphs without Short Cycles
We study approximation algorithms, integrality gaps, and hardness of approximation, of two problems related to cycles of "small" length k in a given graph. The instance f...

Approximating the k-traveling repairman problem with repairtimes
Given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and a source vertex s ∈ V , the k-traveling repairman (KTR) problem, also known as the minimum latency problem, asks for k tours, each starti...
