Linear Approximation of Planar Spatial Databases Using Transitive-Closure Logic
We consider spatial databases in the plane that can be defined by polynomial constraint formulas. Motivated by applications in geographic information systems, we investigate line...

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...

Approximate Policy Iteration for Closed-Loop Learning of Visual Tasks
Abstract. Approximate Policy Iteration (API) is a reinforcement learning paradigm that is able to solve high-dimensional, continuous control problems. We propose to exploit API for...

Stochastic Approximation with Simulated Annealing as an Approach to Global Discrete-Event Simulation Optimization
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
