Approximating the Minimum Spanning Tree Weight in Sublinear Time
We present a probabilistic algorithm that, given a connected graph G (represented by adjacency lists) of average degree d, with edge weights in the set {1, . . . , w}, and given a ...

Bayesian learning of Bayesian networks with informative priors
This paper presents and evaluates an approach to Bayesian model averaging where the models are Bayesian nets (BNs). Prior distributions are defined using stochastic logic programs...

Stochastic Natural Gradient Descent by estimation of empirical covariances
—Stochastic relaxation aims at finding the minimum of a fitness function by identifying a proper sequence of distributions, in a given model, that minimize the expected value o...

Path-sampling for state-dependent importance sampling
State-dependent importance sampling (SDIS) has proved to be particularly useful in simulation (specially in rare event analysis of stochastic systems). One approach for designing ...
