How Does CONDENSATION Behave with a Finite Number of Samples?
Abstract. Condensation is a popular algorithm for sequential inference that resamples a sampled representation of the posterior. The algorithm is known to be asymptotically correct...

Bounded-depth circuits cannot sample good codes
We study a variant of the classical circuit-lower-bound problems: proving lower bounds for sampling distributions given random bits. We prove a lower bound of 1 - 1/n(1) on the st...

Model Counting: A New Strategy for Obtaining Good Bounds
Model counting is the classical problem of computing the number of solutions of a given propositional formula. It vastly generalizes the NP-complete problem of propositional satis...

Policy Gradient Planning for Environmental Decision Making with Existing Simulators
In environmental and natural resource planning domains actions are taken at a large number of locations over multiple time periods. These problems have enormous state and action s...

Fast Asynchronous Uniform Consensus in Real-Time Distributed Systems
We investigate whether asynchronous computational models and asynchronous algorithms can be considered for designing real-time distributed fault-tolerant systems. A priori, the lac...
