Function-Approximation-Based Importance Sampling for Pricing American Options
Monte Carlo simulation techniques that use function approximations have been successfully applied to approximately price multi-dimensional American options. However, for many pric...

Advances in Lifted Importance Sampling
We consider lifted importance sampling (LIS), a previously proposed approximate inference algorithm for statistical relational learning (SRL) models. LIS achieves substantial vari...

Policy Improvement for POMDPs Using Normalized Importance Sampling
We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowledge of the POMDP, can estimate the returns for finit...

Real-time Shading with Filtered Importance Sampling
We propose an analysis of numerical integration based on sampling theory, whereby the integration error caused by aliasing is suppressed by pre-filtering. We derive a pre-filter f...

Large deviations and importance sampling for a tandem network with slow-down
We consider a variant of the two node tandem Jackson network where the upstream server reduces its service rate when the downstream queue exceeds some prespecified threshold. The...
