View volume culling using a probabilistic caching scheme
This paper describes a new algorithm for view volume culling. During an interactive walkthrough of a 3D scene, at any moment a large proportion of objects will be outside of the v...

SixthSense: Fast and Reliable Recognition of Dead Ends in MDPs
The results of the latest International Probabilistic Planning Competition (IPPC-2008) indicate that the presence of dead ends, states with no trajectory to the goal, makes MDPs h...
