An approximate dynamic programming approach to probabilistic reachability for stochastic hybrid systems
— This paper addresses the computational overhead involved in probabilistic reachability computations for a general class of controlled stochastic hybrid systems. An approximate ...

Algorithms (X, sigma, eta): Quasi-random Mutations for Evolution Strategies
Randomization is an efficient tool for global optimization. We here define a method which keeps : – the order 0 of evolutionary algorithms (no gradient) ; – the stochastic as...

Object tracking and detection after occlusion via numerical hybrid local and global mode-seeking
Given an object model and a black-box measure of similarity between the model and candidate targets, we consider visual object tracking as a numerical optimization problem. During...
