In this work we investigate an inverse geometry problem. Given a light source, a diffuse plane and a caustic image, how must a geometric object look like (transmissive or reflect...
Monte Carlo techniques have long been used (since Buffon's experiment to approximate the value of by tossing a needle onto striped paper) to analyze phenomena which, due to ...

Contrastive Divergence (CD) is a popular method for estimating the parameters of Markov Random Fields (MRFs) by rapidly approximating an intractable term in the gradient of the lo...
For location-based services it is often essential to efficiently process proximity relations among mobile objects, such as to establish whether a group of friends or family member...
Generative models of pattern individuality attempt to learn the distribution of observed quantitative features to determine the probability of two random patterns being the same. ...
