Statistical Inference in Mapping and Localization for Mobile Robots
In this paper we tackle the problem of providing a mobile robot with the ability to build a map of its environment using data gathered during navigation. The data correspond to the...

Simulating independence: new constructions of condensers, ramsey graphs, dispersers, and extractors
We present new explicit constructions of deterministic randomness extractors, dispersers and related objects. We say that a distribution X on binary strings of length n is a -sour...

Sampling Bounds for Stochastic Optimization
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...

Bayesian Robust PCA for Incomplete Data
Abstract. We present a probabilistic model for robust principal component analysis (PCA) in which the observation noise is modelled by Student-t distributions that are independent ...

PAC-learning Bounded Tree-width Graphical Models
We show that the class of strongly connected graphical models with treewidth at most k can be properly efficiently PAC-learnt with respect to the Kullback-Leibler Divergence. Prev...
