Minimum Cuts in Near-Linear Time
We significantly improve known time bounds for solving the minimum cut problem on undirected graphs. We use a "semiduality" between minimum cuts and maximum spanning tree...

Parallel Chains, Delayed Rejection and Reversible Jump MCMC for Object Recognition
We tackle the problem of object recognition using a Bayesian approach. A marked point process [1] is used as a prior model for the (unknown number of) objects. A sample is generat...

Global Optimisation of Neural Network Models via Sequential Sampling
We propose a novel strategy for training neural networks using sequential Monte Carlo algorithms. This global optimisation strategy allows us to learn the probability distribution...

On the longest increasing subsequence of a circular list
The longest increasing circular subsequence (LICS) of a list is considered. A Monte-Carlo algorithm to compute it is given which has worst case execution time O(n3/2 log n) and st...

Fractional Processes: from Poisson to Branching One
Fractional generalizations of the Poisson process and branching Furry process are considered. The link between characteristics of the processes, fractional differential equations ...
