This work provides the first finite-sample complexity analysis for policy evaluation in robust average reward MDPs. By constructing a carefully designed semi-norm, it proves that the robust Bellman ...

Abstract: This paper studies the outage probability minimization problem for state estimation of linear dynamical systems using multiple sensors, where an estimation ...

Abstract: Worldwide, Geo-distributed Data Centers (GDCs) provide computing and storage services for massive workflow applications, resulting in high electricity costs that vary depending on ...

Despite enhancements in the development of robotic systems, the energy economy of today's robots lags far behind that of biological systems. This is in particular critical for untethered legged robot ...

This paper describes an active inference scheme for visual searches and the perceptual synthesis entailed by scene construction. Active inference assumes that perception and action minimize ...
