Sequential Allocations that Reduce Risk for Multiple Comparisons
We consider how to efficiently allocate computing resources in order to infer the best of a finite set of simulated systems, where best means that the system has the maximal expec...

An Efficient Motion Planning Algorithm for Stochastic Dynamic Systems with Constraints on Probability of Failure
When controlling dynamic systems, such as mobile robots in uncertain environments, there is a trade off between risk and reward. For example, a race car can turn a corner faster b...
