On Khachiyan's algorithm for the computation of minimum-volume enclosing ellipsoids
Given A := {a1, . . . , am} ⊂ Rd whose affine hull is Rd, we study the problems of computing an approximate rounding of the convex hull of A and an approximation to the minimum ...

Approximate Searching on Compressed Text
The approximate searching problem on compressed text tries to find all the matches of a pattern in a compressed text, without decompressing it and considering that the match of th...

Noisy K Best-Paths for Approximate Dynamic Programming with Application to Portfolio Optimization
Abstract— We describe a general method to transform a non-Markovian sequential decision problem into a supervised learning problem using a K-bestpaths algorithm. We consider an a...
