Variational Inference for Diffusion Processes
Diffusion processes are a family of continuous-time continuous-state stochastic processes that are in general only partially observed. The joint estimation of the forcing paramete...

Accelerated Simulation for Pricing Asian Options
When pricing options via Monte Carlo simulations, precision can be improved either by performing longer simulations, or by reducing the variance of the estimators. In this paper, ...

Stochastic search methods for nash equilibrium approximation in simulation-based games
We define the class of games called simulation-based games, in which the payoffs are available as an output of an oracle (simulator), rather than specified analytically or using a...

Online Learning of Noisy Data with Kernels
We study online learning when individual instances are corrupted by adversarially chosen random noise. We assume the noise distribution is unknown, and may change over time with n...
