Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in hierarchical parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or...
We consider the problem of solving a linear system Ax = b over a cyclotomic field. What makes cyclotomic fields of special interest is that we can easily find a prime p that sp...
Recent results in complexity theory suggest that various economic theories require agents to solve computationally intractable problems. However, such results assume the agents ar...
Factored representations, model-based learning, and hierarchies are well-studied techniques for improving the learning efficiency of reinforcement-learning algorithms in large-sca...
