Let P be a set of n points in Rd . A subset S of P is called a (k, )-kernel if for every direction, the direction width of S -approximates that of P, when k "outliers" c...
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
Finding approximate Nash equilibria in n × n bimatrix games is currently one of the main open problems in algorithmic game theory. Motivated in part by the lack of progress on wo...
Abstract Declarative queries are proving to be an attractive paradigm for interacting with networks of wireless sensors. The metaphor that "the sensornet is a database" i...

To avoid the curse of dimensionality, function approximators are used in reinforcement learning to learn value functions for individual states. In order to make better use of comp...
