Aiming for a theoretically tractable CSA variant by means of empirical investigations
Evolution Strategies (ES) for black-box optimization of a function f : Rn → R are investigated. Namely, we consider the cumulative step-size adaptation (CSA) for the variance of...

Fast direct policy evaluation using multiscale analysis of Markov diffusion processes
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...

Optimized intrinsic dimension estimator using nearest neighbor graphs
We develop an approach to intrinsic dimension estimation based on k-nearest neighbor (kNN) distances. The dimension estimator is derived using a general theory on functionals of k...

Automatic Estimation and Removal of Noise from a Single Image
Image denoising algorithms often assume an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) process that is independent of the actual RGB values. Such approaches cannot effectively remove colo...

Acoustic front-end optimization for bird species recognition
The goal of this work was to explore the optimization of the feature extraction module (front-end) parameters to improve bird species recognition. We explored optimizing the spect...
