Convolutional Factor Graphs as Probabilistic Models
Based on a recent development in the area of error control coding, we introduce the notion of convolutional factor graphs (CFGs) as a new class of probabilistic graphical models. ...

Study of an ergodicity pitfall in multitrajectory simulation
Multitrajectory Simulation allows random events in a simulation to generate multiple trajectories. Management techniques have been developed to manage the choices of trajectories ...

Stochastic Approximation with Simulated Annealing as an Approach to Global Discrete-Event Simulation Optimization
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...

Approximate Policy Iteration with a Policy Language Bias
We study an approach to policy selection for large relational Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). We consider a variant of approximate policy iteration (API) that replaces the usual...
