Finite-sample performance guarantees for one-dimensional stochastic root finding
We study the one-dimensional root finding problem for increasing convex functions. We give gradient-free algorithms for both exact and inexact (stochastic) function evaluations. ...

Collapsed Variational Inference for HDP
A wide variety of Dirichlet-multinomial ‘topic’ models have found interesting applications in recent years. While Gibbs sampling remains an important method of inference in su...

Time Optimal Trajectories for Bounded Velocity Differential Drive Vehicles
This paper presents the time optimal trajectories for differential drive vehicles in the unobstructed plane. The wheel angular velocities are bounded, but may be discontinuous. Th...

Opposition-based particle swarm algorithm with cauchy mutation
—Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has shown its fast search speed in many complicated optimization and search problems. However, PSO could often easily fall into local optima. T...
