A continuous approach to considering uncertainty in facility design
This paper presents a formulation of the facilities block layout problem which explicitly considers uncertainty in material handling costs on a continuous scale by use of expected...

Mean Field Variational Approximation for Continuous-Time Bayesian Networks
Continuous-time Bayesian networks is a natural structured representation language for multicomponent stochastic processes that evolve continuously over time. Despite the compact r...

Benchmarking the (1+1)-ES with one-fifth success rule on the BBOB-2009 noisy testbed
The (1+1)-ES with one-fifth success rule is one of the first and simplest stochastic algorithm proposed for optimization on a continuous search space in a black-box scenario. In...

Probabilistic inference for solving discrete and continuous state Markov Decision Processes
Inference in Markov Decision Processes has recently received interest as a means to infer goals of an observed action, policy recognition, and also as a tool to compute policies. ...
