Learning Continuous Distributions: Simulations With Field Theoretic Priors
Learning of a smooth but nonparametric probability density can be regularized using methods of Quantum Field Theory. We implement a field theoretic prior numerically, test its eff...

Learning in Gaussian Markov random fields
This paper addresses the problem of state estimation in the case where the prior distribution of the states is not perfectly known but instead is parameterized by some unknown par...

Optimization by Stochastic Continuation
Simulated annealing (SA) and deterministic continuation are well-known generic approaches to global optimization. Deterministic continuation is computationally attractive but produ...
