Stochastic Problem Solving by Local Computation Based on Self-Organization Paradigm
We are developing a new problem-solving methodology based on a self-organization paradigm. To realize our future goal of self-organizing computational systems, we have to study co...

Discovering Weakly-Interacting Factors in a Complex Stochastic Process
Dynamic Bayesian networks are structured representations of stochastic processes. Despite their structure, exact inference in DBNs is generally intractable. One approach to approx...

Stochastic Billboard Clouds for Interactive Foliage Rendering
We render tree foliage levels of detail (LODs) using a new adaptation of billboard clouds. Our contributions are a simple and efficient billboard cloud creation algorithm designed...

Observational Learning in Random Networks
In the standard model of observational learning, n agents sequentially decide between two alternatives a or b, one of which is objectively superior. Their choice is based on a stoc...
