Nonparametric Return Distribution Approximation for Reinforcement Learning
Standard Reinforcement Learning (RL) aims to optimize decision-making rules in terms of the expected return. However, especially for risk-management purposes, other criteria such ...

Approximating true relevance distribution from a mixture model based on irrelevance data
Pseudo relevance feedback (PRF), which has been widely applied in IR, aims to derive a distribution from the top n pseudo relevant documents D. However, these documents are often ...

Closed form solutions for mapping general distributions to quasi-minimal PH distributions
Approximating general distributions by phase-type (PH) distributions is a popular technique in stochastic analysis, since the Markovian property of PH distributions often allows a...

Learning and Approximating the Optimal Strategy to Commit To
Computing optimal Stackelberg strategies in general two-player Bayesian games (not to be confused with Stackelberg strategies in routing games) is a topic that has recently been ga...
