Smooth view-dependent level-of-detail control and its application to terrain rendering
The key to real-time rendering of large-scale surfaces is to locally adapt surface geometric complexity to changing view parameters. Several schemes have been developed to address...

Probabilistic modeling for continuous EDA with Boltzmann selection and Kullback-Leibeler divergence
This paper extends the Boltzmann Selection, a method in EDA with theoretical importance, from discrete domain to the continuous one. The difficulty of estimating the exact Boltzma...

Binary action search for learning continuous-action control policies
Reinforcement Learning methods for controlling stochastic processes typically assume a small and discrete action space. While continuous action spaces are quite common in real-wor...

Online convex optimization in the bandit setting: gradient descent without a gradient
We study a general online convex optimization problem. We have a convex set S and an unknown sequence of cost functions c1, c2, . . . , and in each period, we choose a feasible po...

Efficient Belief Propagation with Learned Higher-Order Markov Random Fields
Belief propagation (BP) has become widely used for low-level vision problems and various inference techniques have been proposed for loopy graphs. These methods typically rely on a...
