Markov decision processes (MDPs) are widely used for modeling decision-making problems in robotics, automated control, and economics. Traditional MDPs assume that the decision mak...
We develop and analyze M-estimation methods for divergence functionals and the likelihood ratios of two probability distributions. Our method is based on a non-asymptotic variatio...

The algebraic hierarchical decomposition of finite state automata can be applied wherever a finite system should be `understood' using a hierarchical coordinate system. Here ...
Knowing the excluded minors for a minor-closed matroid property provides a useful alternative characterization of that property. It has been shown in [R. Hall, J. Oxley, C. Semple...
This paper contributes a general approach to characterizing patterns of change in a spatio-temporal database. While there is a particular interest in modelling and querying how sp...
