Feature-Discovering Approximate Value Iteration Methods
Sets of features in Markov decision processes can play a critical role ximately representing value and in abstracting the state space. Selection of features is crucial to the succe...

Approximate String Matching in LDAP Based on Edit Distance
As the E-Commerce rapidly grows up, searching data is almost necessary in every application. Approximate string matching problems play a very important role to search with errors....

The Shortest Vector in a Lattice is Hard to Approximate to Within Some Constant
We show that approximating the shortest vector problem (in any p norm) to within any constant factor less than p 2 is hard for NP under reverse unfaithful random reductions with i...

Approximating Optimal Binary Decision Trees
Abstract. We give a (ln n + 1)-approximation for the decision tree (DT) problem. An instance of DT is a set of m binary tests T = (T1, . . . , Tm) and a set of n items X = (X1, . ....

Approximating TSP on metrics with bounded global growth
The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is a canonical NP-complete problem which is known to be MAXSNP hard even on Euclidean metrics (of high dimensions) [40]. In order to circumven...
