Bandit based methods for tree search have recently gained popularity when applied to huge trees, e.g. in the game of go [6]. Their efficient exploration of the tree enables to ret...
Many parameterized algorithms for NP-hard graph problems are search tree algorithms with sophisticated local branching rules. But it has also been noticed that the global structur...
The Valued Constraint Satisfaction Problem (VCSP) is a generic optimization problem defined by a network of local cost functions defined over discrete variables. It has applicatio...

A key feature in population based optimization algorithms is the ability to explore a search space and make a decision based on multiple solutions. In this paper, an incremental le...
We show how to extend the ICP framework to nonrigid registration, while retaining the convergence properties of the original algorithm. The resulting optimal step nonrigid ICP fra...
