On the variance of random polygons
A random polygon is the convex hull of uniformly distributed random points in a convex body K R2 . General upper bounds are established for the variance of the area of a random p...

Multi-Task Learning via Conic Programming
When we have several related tasks, solving them simultaneously is shown to be more effective than solving them individually. This approach is called multi-task learning (MTL) and...

Variational Minimax Estimation of Discrete Distributions under KL Loss
We develop a family of upper and lower bounds on the worst-case expected KL loss for estimating a discrete distribution on a finite number m of points, given N i.i.d. samples. Our...
