Space-time block codes from orthogonal designs
- IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory
, 1999
"... Abstract — We introduce space–time block coding, a new paradigm for communication over Rayleigh fading channels using multiple transmit antennas. Data is encoded using a space–time block code and the encoded data is split into � streams which are simultaneously transmitted using � transmit antennas. ..."

decoding algorithm. The classical mathematical framework of orthogonal designs is applied to construct space–time block codes. It is shown that space–time block codes constructed in this way only exist for few sporadic values of �. Subsequently, a generalization of orthogonal designs is shown to provide
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning with function approximation.
- In NIPS,
, 1999
"... Abstract Function approximation is essential to reinforcement learning, but the standard approach of approximating a value function and determining a policy from it has so far proven theoretically intractable. In this paper we explore an alternative approach in which the policy is explicitly repres ..."

How to Use Expert Advice
- JOURNAL OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTING MACHINERY
, 1997
"... We analyze algorithms that predict a binary value by combining the predictions of several prediction strategies, called experts. Our analysis is for worst-case situations, i.e., we make no assumptions about the way the sequence of bits to be predicted is generated. We measure the performance of the ..."

How Social Security and Medicare Affect Retirement Behavior in a World of Incomplete Markets
- ECONOMETRICA
, 1997
"... This paper provides an empirical analysis of how the U.S. Social Security and Medicare insurance system affect the labor supply of older males in the presence of incomplete markets for loans, annuities, and health insurance. We estimate a detailed dynamic programming (DP) model of the joint labor ..."

that the DP model is able to account for wide variety of phenomena observed in the data, including the pronounced peaks in the distribution of retirement ages at 62 and 65 (the ages of early and normal eligibility for Social Security benefits, respectively). We identify a significant fraction of “health
Region Filling and Object Removal by Exemplar-Based Image Inpainting
, 2004
"... A new algorithm is proposed for removing large objects from digital images. The challenge is to fill in the hole that is left behind in a visually plausible way. In the past, this problem has been addressed by two classes of algorithms: 1) “texture synthesis” algorithms for generating large image re ..."

Market underreaction to open market share repurchases
- JOURNAL OF FINANCIAL ECONOMICS
, 1995
"... We examine long-run firm performance following open market share repurchase announcements, 1980-1990. We find that the average abnormal four-year buy-and-hold return measured after the initial announcement is 12.1%. For ‘value ’ stocks, companies more likely to be repurchasing shares because of unde ..."

of undervaluation, the average abnormal return is 45.3%. For repurchases announced by ‘glamour ’ stocks, where undervaluation is less likely to be an important motive, no positive drift in abnormal returns is observed. Thus, at least with respect to value stocks, the market errs in its initial response and appears
On Lattices, Learning with Errors, Random Linear Codes, and Cryptography
- In STOC
, 2005
"... Our main result is a reduction from worst-case lattice problems such as SVP and SIVP to a certain learning problem. This learning problem is a natural extension of the ‘learning from parity with error’ problem to higher moduli. It can also be viewed as the problem of decoding from a random linear co ..."

-SVP, a special case of SVP. The new cryptosystem is much more efficient than previous cryptosystems: the public key is of size Õ(n2) and encrypting a message increases its size by a factor of Õ(n) (in previous cryptosystems these values are Õ(n4) and Õ(n2), respectively). In fact, under the assumption
Submodular functions, matroids and certain polyhedra
, 2003
"... The viewpoint of the subject of matroids, and related areas of lattice theory, has always been, in one way or another, abstraction of algebraic dependence or, equivalently, abstraction of the incidence relations in geometric representations of algebra. Often one of the main derived facts is that all ..."

Computing Discrete Minimal Surfaces and Their Conjugates

Perceived organizational support: A review of the literature
