Coverage-biased Random Exploration of Models
This paper describes a set of methods for randomly drawing traces in large models either uniformly among all traces, or with a coverage criterion as target. Classical random walk ...

When Random Play is Optimal Against an Adversary
We analyze a sequential game between a Gambler and a Casino. The Gambler allocates bets from a limited budget over a fixed menu of gambling events that are offered at equal time i...
