Quantum Algorithms for Testing Properties of Distributions
Abstract. Suppose one has access to oracles generating samples from two unknown probability distributions p and q on some N-element set. How many samples does one need to test whet...

Efficient Solutions to Factored MDPs with Imprecise Transition Probabilities
When modeling real-world decision-theoretic planning problems in the Markov decision process (MDP) framework, it is often impossible to obtain a completely accurate estimate of tr...

Range Image Registration via Probability Field
This paper presents a powerful variant of the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm for registering range images using a probability field. The probability field (p-field) repre...

Testing Symmetric Properties of Distributions
We introduce the notion of a Canonical Tester for a class of properties on distributions, that is, a tester strong and general enough that “a distribution property in the class ...
