We consider the problem of fitting a reinforcement learning (RL) model to some given behavioral data under a multi-armed bandit environment. These models have received much attention in recent years ...

ABSTRACT: This paper deals with linear programming techniques and their application in optimizing lecture rooms in an institution. This linear programming formulated based on the available secondary ...

The problem of tensor completion has applications in healthcare, computer vision, and other domains. However, past approaches to tensor completion have faced a tension in that they either have ...

Professor Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, will deliver the 2025 Distinguished Annual Edith Morley Seminar on Thursday 30th April at 3:00pm in Room 109, Palmer ...

Center on Stochastic Modeling, Optimization, and Statistics (COSMOS), The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA. Quantitative decision analysis involves notions of comparison and ...

Worse-case analysis takes a “Murphy’s Law” approach to algorithm analysis, which is too crude to give meaningful algorithmic guidance for many important problems, including linear programming, ...

Algorithms are pre-defined, self-contained sets of instructions designed to execute diverse functions, and they have been around for longer than you might expect. From ancient Babylon to the present ...

(2) Jensen and co-workers utilized the simplex method to optimize reactions in microreactors. (1, 3) Poliakoff and co-workers constructed a system with what they called a stable noisy optimization by ...

Forecasting how populations respond to climate change is an important challenge for natural resource managers. Forecasting approaches range from machine learning that is agnostic about underlying ...

Emerging technologies for computing promise to outperform conventional integrated circuits in computation bandwidth or speed, power consumption, manufacturing cost, or form factor 1,2. However, ...

Two previous studies of a herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) subunit vaccine containing glycoprotein D in HSV-discordant couples revealed 73% and 74% efficacy against genital disease in women who ...
