Abstract. Developing superior artificial board-game players is a widelystudied area of Artificial Intelligence. Among the most challenging games is the Asian game of Go, which, des...
This paper presents a novel method that effectively combines both control variates and importance sampling in a sequential Monte Carlo context. The radiance estimates computed dur...
The two parameter Poisson-Dirichlet process is also known as the PitmanYor Process and related to the Chinese Restaurant Process, is a generalisation of the Dirichlet Process, and...
In this paper, we present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions in a Sobolev space Wk p (Rs )(1 p ) to a vector refinement equation with a general dil...
