Near-Bayesian exploration in polynomial time
We consider the exploration/exploitation problem in reinforcement learning (RL). The Bayesian approach to model-based RL offers an elegant solution to this problem, by considering...

Conditional density learning via regression with application to deformable shape segmentation
Many vision problems can be cast as optimizing the conditional probability density function p(C|I) where I is an image and C is a vector of model parameters describing the image. ...

Genetic programming for quantitative stock selection
We provide an overview of using genetic programming (GP) to model stock returns. Our models employ GP terminals (model decision variables) that are financial factors identified by...

A probabilistic functional crossover operator for genetic programming
The original mechanism by which evolutionary algorithms were to solve problems was to allow for the gradual discovery of sub-solutions to sub-problems, and the automated combinati...

Sampling-based Approximation Algorithms for Multi-stage Stochastic Optimization
Stochastic optimization problems provide a means to model uncertainty in the input data where the uncertainty is modeled by a probability distribution over the possible realizatio...
