Perturb-and-MAP Random Fields: Using Discrete Optimization\\to Learn and Sample from Energy Models
We propose a novel way to induce a random field from an energy function on discrete labels. It amounts to locally injecting noise to the energy potentials, followed by finding t...

APRICODD: Approximate Policy Construction Using Decision Diagrams
We propose a method of approximate dynamic programming for Markov decision processes (MDPs) using algebraic decision diagrams (ADDs). We produce near-optimal value functions and p...
