We give an algorithm for the bandit version of a very general online optimization problem considered by Kalai and Vempala [1], for the case of an adaptive adversary. In this proble...
The decision functions constructed by support vector machines (SVM’s) usually depend only on a subset of the training set—the so-called support vectors. We derive asymptotical...
Abstract. The Choice Coordination Problem with k alternatives (kCCP) was introduced by Rabin in 1982 [Rab82]. The goal is to design a wait-free protocol for n asynchronous processe...
Abstract. In this we paper we consider the version of the classical Towers of Hanoi games where the game-board contains more than three pegs. For k pegs we give a 2Ckn1/(k−2) low...
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
