We propose an approach to lossy source coding, utilizing ideas from Gibbs sampling, simulated annealing, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The idea is to sample a reconstructio...
We consider Bayesian analysis of data from multivariate linear regression models whose errors have a distribution that is a scale mixture of normals. Such models are used to analy...
Abstract--The increasing availability of multi-core and multiprocessor architectures provides new opportunities for improving the performance of many computer simulations. Markov C...

We propose a general-purpose stochastic optimization algorithm, the so-called annealing stochastic approximation Monte Carlo (ASAMC) algorithm, for neural network training. ASAMC c...
