Variance reduction techniques for value-at-risk with heavy-tailed risk factors
The calculation of value-at-risk (VAR) for large portfolios of complex instruments is among the most demanding and widespread computational challenges facing the financial industr...

Adaptive Control Variates
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...

Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Exploiting the Tradeoff Between Precision and Cpu-Time to Speed Up Nearest Neighbor Search
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...

A new look at state-space models for neural data
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...
