Markov Chain Monte Carlo Combined with Deterministic Methods for Markov Random Field Optimization
Many vision problems have been formulated as en- ergy minimization problems and there have been signif- icant advances in energy minimization algorithms. The most widely-used energ...

Reducing the run-time of MCMC programs by multithreading on SMP architectures
The increasing availability of multi-core and multiprocessor architectures provides new opportunities for improving the performance of many computer simulations. Markov Chain Mont...

A Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampler for Mixed Boolean/Integer Constraints
We describe a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)-based algorithm for sampling solutions to mixed Boolean/integer constraint problems. The focus of this work differs in two points from...

Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...

MCMC curve sampling and geometric conditional simulation
We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. Traditional curve evolution methods use gradient descent to find a local minimum...
