Localization of Shapes Using Statistical Models and Stochastic Optimization
—In this paper, we present a new model for deformations of shapes. A pseudolikelihood is based on the statistical distribution of the gradient vector field of the gray level. The...

Predictive representations for policy gradient in POMDPs
We consider the problem of estimating the policy gradient in Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) with a special class of policies that are based on Predictive ...

Algorithmic optimizations of a conjugate gradient solver on shared memory architectures
OpenMP is an architecture-independent language for programming in the shared memory model. OpenMP is designed to be simple and in terms of programming abstractions. Unfortunately,...

Fast global convergence of gradient methods for high-dimensional statistical recovery
Many statistical M-estimators are based on convex optimization problems formed by the weighted sum of a loss function with a norm-based regularizer. We analyze the convergence rat...

Approximately Global Optimization for Robust Alignment of Generalized Shapes
—In this paper, we introduce a novel method to solve shape alignment problems. We use gray-scale “images” to represent source shapes, and propose a novel two-component Gaussi...
