Hybrid Least-Squares Algorithms for Approximate Policy Evaluation
The goal of approximate policy evaluation is to “best” represent a target value function according to a specific criterion. Temporal difference methods and Bellman residual m...

Solving Packing Problem with Weaker Block Solvers
We study the general packing problem with M constraints. In [Jansen and Zhang, TCS 2002] a c(1 + ε)-approximation algorithm for the general packing problem was proposed. A block s...

A fast level set algorithm for shape-based segmentation with multiple selective priors
This paper addresses the shape-based segmentation problem using level sets. In particular, we propose a fast algorithm to solve the piece-wise constant Chan-Vese segmentation mode...

Heuristics for matrix bandwidth reduction
In this work, we provide two heuristic algorithms for the matrix bandwidth reduction problem. The first is a genetic algorithm and the second uses node label adjustments. Experime...
