Constraint relaxation in approximate linear programs
Approximate Linear Programming (ALP) is a reinforcement learning technique with nice theoretical properties, but it often performs poorly in practice. We identify some reasons for...

Piecewise Linear Approximation of Signed Distance Fields
The signed distance field of a surface can effectively support many geometry processing tasks such as decimation, smoothing, and Boolean operations since it provides efficient a...

Approximate earth mover's distance in linear time
The earth mover's distance (EMD) [16] is an important perceptually meaningful metric for comparing histograms, but it suffers from high (O(N3 log N)) computational complexity...

Gadgets, Approximation, and Linear Programming
We present a linear programming-based method for nding \gadgets", i.e., combinatorial structures reducing constraints of one optimization problem to constraints of another. A...

Heuristic Refinements of Approximate Linear Programming for Factored Continuous-State Markov Decision Processes
Approximate linear programming (ALP) offers a promising framework for solving large factored Markov decision processes (MDPs) with both discrete and continuous states. Successful ...
