Redundancy allocation problems (RAPs) have attracted much attention for the past thirty years due to its wide applications in improving the reliability of various engineering syste...
Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...
— The frame-layer bit allocation problem for H.264 is studied in this work. We first impose a GOP (Group of Pictures) structure on the underlying H.264 video, and then develop a...
This paper formalizes Feature Selection as a Reinforcement Learning problem, leading to a provably optimal though intractable selection policy. As a second contribution, this pape...
Most game programs have a large number of parameters that are crucial for their performance. While tuning these parameters by hand is rather difficult, efficient and easy to use ge...
