A Tutorial on the Cross-Entropy Method
The cross-entropy (CE) method is a new generic approach to combinatorial and multi-extremal

Convergence properties of the cross-entropy method for discrete optimization
We present new theoretical convergence results on the Cross-Entropy method for discrete optimization. Our primary contribution is to show that a popular implementation of the Cros...

Markov Random Field Energy Minimization via Iterated Cross Entropy with Partition Strategy
This paper introduces a novel energy minimization method, namely iterated cross entropy with partition strategy (ICEPS), into the Markov random field theory. The solver, which is...

The Cross Entropy Method for Fast Policy Search
We present a learning framework for Markovian decision processes that is based on optimization in the policy space. Instead of using relatively slow gradient-based optimization al...

The cross entropy method for classification
We consider support vector machines for binary classification. As opposed to most approaches we use the number of support vectors (the "L0 norm") as a regularizing term ...
