We explore combining reinforcement learning with a hand-crafted local controller in a manner suggested by the chaotic control algorithm of Vincent, Schmitt and Vincent (1994). A c...
It has been shown that the problem of 1-penalized least-square regression commonly referred to as the Lasso or Basis Pursuit DeNoising leads to solutions that are sparse and there...
— Invasive Weed Optimization Algorithm IWO) is an ecologically inspired metaheuristic that mimics the process of weeds colonization and distribution and is capable of solving mul...
In this paper, we study PAC-leaming algorithms for specialized classes of deterministic finite automata (DFA). Inpartictdar, we study branchingprogrsms, and we investigate the int...
We present a new algorithm for minimizing a convex loss-function subject to regularization. Our framework applies to numerous problems in machine learning and statistics; notably,...
