— We consider the problem of distributing a content of finite size to a group of users connected through an overlay network that is built by a peer-to-peer application. The goal...
We propose a model for Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHSs) where transitions between discrete modes are triggered by stochastic events much like transitions between states of a contin...
Stochastic relational models (SRMs) [15] provide a rich family of choices for learning and predicting dyadic data between two sets of entities. The models generalize matrix factor...
A simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) method has been developed in this paper, using the operators of perturbation with the Lipschitz density function. This ...
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...
