Evolutionary MCMC Sampling and Optimization in Discrete Spaces
The links between genetic algorithms and population-based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are explored. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are well-known for their capability to opt...

Temporal motion models for monocular and multiview 3D human body tracking
We explore an approach to 3D people tracking with learned motion models and deterministic optimization. The tracking problem is formulated as the minimization of a differentiable ...

Criticality computation in parameterized statistical timing
Chips manufactured in 90 nm technology have shown large parametric variations, and a worsening trend is predicted. These parametric variations make circuit optimization difficult ...

Geometric Variance Reduction in Markov Chains: Application to Value Function and Gradient Estimation
We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...

Structural Approach for Building Reconstruction from a Single DSM
We present a new approach for building reconstruction from a single Digital Surface Model (DSM). It treats buildings as an assemblage of simple urban structures extracted from a li...
