The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

We present an approach to improve the search efficiency for near-optimal motion synthesis using motion graphs. An optimal or near-optimal path through a motion graph often leads ...
We relate the problem of finding the best application of a Synchronous ContextFree Grammar (SCFG) rule during parsing to a Markov Random Field. This representation allows us to u...
Probabilistic inference algorithms for belief updating, nding the most probable explanation, the maximum a posteriori hypothesis, and the maximum expected utility are reformulated...
We consider the problem of isolating the real roots of a square-free polynomial with integer coefficients using (variants of) the continued fraction algorithm (CF). We introduce a...
