Understanding Evolved Genetic Programs for a Real World Object Detection Problem
We describe an approach to understanding evolved programs for a real world object detection problem, that of finding orthodontic landmarks in cranio-facial X-Rays. The approach in...

Asynchronous gossip algorithms for stochastic optimization
Abstract— We consider a distributed multi-agent network system where the goal is to minimize an objective function that can be written as the sum of component functions, each of ...

Efficient Sampling for Gaussian Process Inference using Control Variables
Sampling functions in Gaussian process (GP) models is challenging because of the highly correlated posterior distribution. We describe an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algori...

Optimal algorithms for global optimization in case of unknown Lipschitz constant
We consider the global optimization problem for d-variate Lipschitz functions which, in a certain sense, do not increase too slowly in a neighborhood of the global minimizer(s). O...

Minimum Bayes-Risk Decoding for Statistical Machine Translation
We present Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding for statistical machine translation. This statistical approach aims to minimize expected loss of translation errors under loss functio...
