Adaptive Monte Carlo methods are specialized Monte Carlo simulation techniques where the methods are adaptively tuned as the simulation progresses. The primary focus of such techn...
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

We describe a recursive algorithm to quickly compute the N nearest neighbors according to a similarity measure in a metric space. The algorithm exploits an intrinsic property of a...
State space methods have proven indispensable in neural data analysis. However, common methods for performing inference in state-space models with non-Gaussian observations rely o...
