Consider a database most of whose entries are marked but the precise fraction of marked entries is not known. What is known is that the fraction of marked entries is 1 − , where ...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unc...

Embedding algorithms search for low dimensional structure in complex data, but most algorithms only handle objects of a single type for which pairwise distances are specified. Thi...

Direct policy search is a practical way to solve reinforcement learning problems involving continuous state and action spaces. The goal becomes finding policy parameters that maxi...
In this paper, we present simple and genetic forms of an evolutionary paradigm known as a society of hill-climbers (SoHC). We compare these simple and genetic SoHCs on a test suite...
