Convergence theory for nonconvex stochastic programming with an application to mixed logit
Monte Carlo methods have been used extensively in the area of stochastic programming. As with other methods that involve a level of uncertainty, theoretical properties are required...

Sequential mean field variational analysis of structured deformable shapes
A novel approach is proposed to analyzing and tracking the motion of structured deformable shapes, which consist of multiple correlated deformable subparts. Since this problem is ...

Geometric Variance Reduction in Markov Chains: Application to Value Function and Gradient Estimation
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...

Optimizing Control Variate Estimators for Rendering
We present the Optimizing Control Variate (OCV) estimator, a new estimator for Monte Carlo rendering. Based upon a deterministic sampling framework, OCV allows multiple importance...
