Non-Gaussian statistical timing analysis using second-order polynomial fitting
In the nanometer manufacturing region, process variation causes significant uncertainty for circuit performance verification. Statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) is thus dev...

Church: a language for generative models
Formal languages for probabilistic modeling enable re-use, modularity, and descriptive clarity, and can foster generic inference techniques. We introduce Church, a universal langu...

Variance Reduction Techniques for Gradient Estimates in Reinforcement Learning
Policy gradient methods for reinforcement learning avoid some of the undesirable properties of the value function approaches, such as policy degradation (Baxter and Bartlett, 2001...

High-temperature Expansions for Learning Models of Nonnegative Data
Recent work has exploited boundedness of data in the unsupervised learning of new types of generative model. For nonnegative data it was recently shown that the maximum-entropy ge...

Analytical investigation of intersection based range-free localization
By range-free localization, the positions of a mobile device can be limited to the coverage area of a radio access network cell. The drawback of such approach is the coarseness of ...
