Extension of the direct optimization algorithm for noisy functions
DIRECT (DIviding RECTangles) is a deterministic global optimization algorithm for bound-constrained problems. The algorithm, based on a space-partitioning scheme, performs both gl...

Using Gaussian Processes to Optimize Expensive Functions
The task of finding the optimum of some function f(x) is commonly accomplished by generating and testing sample solutions iteratively, choosing each new sample x heuristically on t...

Aggregate Queries for Discrete and Continuous Probabilistic XML
Sources of data uncertainty and imprecision are numerous. A way to handle this uncertainty is to associate probabilistic annotations to data. Many such probabilistic database mode...

Dynamic Programming for Discrete-Time Systems with Uncertain Gain
We generalise the optimisation technique of dynamic programming for discretetime systems with an uncertain gain function. We assume that uncertainty about the gain function is des...
