A Fast Analytical Algorithm for Solving Markov Decision Processes with Real-Valued Resources
Agents often have to construct plans that obey deadlines or, more generally, resource limits for real-valued resources whose consumption can only be characterized by probability d...

Selecting Observations against Adversarial Objectives
In many applications, one has to actively select among a set of expensive observations before making an informed decision. Often, we want to select observations which perform well...

A Constraint Generation Approach to Learning Stable Linear Dynamical Systems
Stability is a desirable characteristic for linear dynamical systems, but it is often ignored by algorithms that learn these systems from data. We propose a novel method for learn...

Convex Clustering with Exemplar-Based Models
Clustering is often formulated as the maximum likelihood estimation of a mixture model that explains the data. The EM algorithm widely used to solve the resulting optimization pro...

A Large Deviations Perspective on Ordinal Optimization
We consider the problem of optimal allocation of computing budget to maximize the probability of correct selection in the ordinal optimization setting. This problem has been studi...
