Reservoir sampling is a well-known technique for sequential random sampling over data streams. Conventional reservoir sampling assumes a fixed-size reservoir. There are situation...

Sampling is an important tool for estimating large, complex sums and integrals over highdimensional spaces. For instance, importance sampling has been used as an alternative to ex...
Abstract. The usual approach to deal with noise present in many realworld optimization problems is to take an arbitrary number of samples of the objective function and use the samp...
Importance sampling is a popular approach to estimate rare event failures of SRAM cells. We propose to improve importance sampling by probability collectives. First, we use “Kul...

We introduce an algorithm that, given n objects, learns a similarity matrix over all n2 pairs, from crowdsourced data alone. The algorithm samples responses to adaptively chosen t...
