Spectrally optimal sampling for distribution ray tracing
Nonuniform sampling of images is a useful technique in computer graphics, because a properly designed pattern of samples can make aliasing take the form of high-frequency random n...

Fast stochastic optimization for articulated structure tracking
Recently, an optimization approach for fast visual tracking of articulated structures based on Stochastic Meta-Descent (SMD) [7] has been presented. SMD is a gradient descent with...

An EDA based on local markov property and gibbs sampling
The key ideas behind most of the recently proposed Markov networks based EDAs were to factorise the joint probability distribution in terms of the cliques in the undirected graph....

Solving the Vehicle Routing Problem with Stochastic Demands using the Cross-Entropy Method
An alternate formulation of the classical vehicle routing problem with stochastic demands (VRPSD) is considered. We propose a new heuristic method to solve the problem. The algori...

Reducing the complexity of multiagent reinforcement learning
It is known that the complexity of the reinforcement learning algorithms, such as Q-learning, may be exponential in the number of environment’s states. It was shown, however, th...
