Hierarchy Accelerated Stochastic Collision Detection
In this paper we present a new framework for collision and self-collision detection for highly deformable objects such as cloth. It permits to efficiently trade off accuracy for s...

Hierarchical Object Indexing and Sequential Learning
This work is about scene interpretation in the sense of detecting and localizing instances from multiple object classes. We concentrate on object indexing: generate an over-comple...

Distributed Inference for Latent Dirichlet Allocation
We investigate the problem of learning a widely-used latent-variable model – the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) or “topic” model – using distributed computation, where ...

The Equivalence of Sampling and Searching
In a sampling problem, we are given an input x {0, 1} n , and asked to sample approximately from a probability distribution Dx over poly (n)-bit strings. In a search problem, we ...

Hierarchical Penumbra Casting
We present a novel algorithm for rendering physically-based soft shadows in complex scenes. Instead of casting shadow rays, we place both the points to be shaded and the samples o...
