In this paper, we consider the issue of constructing an energy-efficient virtual network backbone in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) for broadcasting applications using directiona...
We target the problem of closed-loop learning of control policies that map visual percepts to continuous actions. Our algorithm, called Reinforcement Learning of Joint Classes (RLJ...
This paper addresses the basic question of how well can a tree approximate distances of a metric space or a graph. Given a graph, the problem of constructing a spanning tree in a ...
Propositional STRIPS planning problems can be viewed as finite state automata (FSAs) represented in a factored form. Automaton minimization is a well-known technique for reducing ...
