We devise an algorithm for solving the infinite-dimensional linear programs that arise from general deterministic semi-Markov decision processes on Borel spaces. The algorithm constructs a sequence of ...

Due to the NP -hardness of many machine learning problems such as clustering, decision tree, and neural network, one primary belief is that solving ML problems to global optimality is computationally ...

The ability to run cross-device campaigns has become a staple promise of programmatic ad tech providers, but matching the devices in a privacy-friendly manner -- i.e. knowing that Smartphone A user is ...
