Approximation and Hardness Results for Label Cut and Related Problems
We investigate a natural combinatorial optimization problem called the Label Cut problem. Given an input graph G with a source s and a sink t, the edges of G are classified into ...

An Edge Deletion Semantics for Belief Propagation and its Practical Impact on Approximation Quality
We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...

Lower Bounds for Agnostic Learning via Approximate Rank
We prove that the concept class of disjunctions cannot be pointwise approximated by linear combinations of any small set of arbitrary real-valued functions. That is, suppose that t...

Pathologies of temporal difference methods in approximate dynamic programming
Approximate policy iteration methods based on temporal differences are popular in practice, and have been tested extensively, dating to the early nineties, but the associated conve...

Efficiently computing minimax expected-size confidence regions
Given observed data and a collection of parameterized candidate models, a 1- confidence region in parameter space provides useful insight as to those models which are a good fit t...
