Multi-Task Learning of Gaussian Graphical Models
We present multi-task structure learning for Gaussian graphical models. We discuss uniqueness and boundedness of the optimal solution of the maximization problem. A block coordina...

The O.D.E. Method for Convergence of Stochastic Approximation and Reinforcement Learning
It is shown here that stability of the stochastic approximation algorithm is implied by the asymptotic stability of the origin for an associated ODE. This in turn implies convergen...

Statistical analysis of heuristics for evolving sorting networks
Designing efficient sorting networks has been a challenging combinatorial optimization problem since the early 1960’s. The application of evolutionary computing to this problem ...
