Bayesian Monte Carlo for the Global Optimization of Expensive Functions
In the last decades enormous advances have been made possible for modelling complex (physical) systems by mathematical equations and computer algorithms. To deal with very long run...

Average Performance of Quasi Monte Carlo Methods for Global Optimization
In this paper we compare the average performance of one class of low-discrepancy quasi-Monte Carlo sequences for global optimization. Weiner measure is assumed as the probability ...

Globally Optimal Active Contours, Sequential Monte Carlo and On-Line Learning for Vessel Segmentation
In this paper we propose a Particle Filter-based propagation approach for the segmentation of vascular structures in 3D volumes. Because of pathologies and inhomogeneities, many de...

Comparison of Monte Carlo and Deterministic Methods for Non-Adaptive Optimization
In this paper we compare the average performance of Monte Carlo methods for global optimization with non-adaptive deterministic alternatives. We analyze the behavior of the algori...
