Ant-based approach for determining the change of measure in importance sampling
Importance Sampling is a potentially powerful variance reduction technique to speed up simulations where the objective depends on the occurrence of rare events. However, it is cru...

Direct Importance Estimation with Model Selection and Its Application to Covariate Shift Adaptation
A situation where training and test samples follow different input distributions is called covariate shift. Under covariate shift, standard learning methods such as maximum likeli...
