We present a way to integrate search and Monte-Carlo methods in the game of Go. Our program uses search to find the status of tactical goals, builds groups, selects interesting go...
Image synthesis often requires the Monte Carlo estimation of integrals. Based on a generalized concept of stratification we present an efficient sampling scheme that consistently ...
We study a general algorithm to improve accuracy in cluster analysis that employs the James-Stein shrinkage effect in k-means clustering. We shrink the centroids of clusters towar...
The quantization based filtering method (see [13], [14]) is a grid based approximation method to solve nonlinear filtering problems with discrete time observations. It relies on o...
— Range sensors are popular for localization since they directly measure the geometry of the local environment. Another distinct benefit is their typically high accuracy and spa...
