Adaptive Simulated Annealing: A Near-optimal Connection between Sampling and Counting
We present a near-optimal reduction from approximately counting the cardinality of a discrete set to approximately sampling elements of the set. An important application of our wo...

A Global Solution to the SFS Problem Using B-spline Surface and Simulated Annealing
This paper restates the shape from shading problem regarding both surface modeling and optimization. We combine the use of a B-spline as 3D model for the scene surface and the use...

Joint Optimization of Distributed Broadcast Quantization Systems for Classification
We develop a simulated annealing technique to jointly optimize a distributed quantization structure meant to maximize the asymptotic error exponent of a downstream classifier or d...

Improved Global Cardiac Tractography With Simulated Annealing
We propose a new fibre tracking algorithm for cardiac DTMRI that parts with the locally "greedy" paradigm intrinsic to conventional tracking algorithms. We formulate the...
