Despite the recent advances in planning with MDPs, the problem of generating good policies is still hard. This paper describes a way to generate policies in MDPs by (1) determiniz...
Optimal constellation design is important in military digital communications for Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM). Optimization realizes a reduced probability of bit error (P...
Background: Recent approaches for predicting the three-dimensional (3D) structure of proteins such as de novo or fold recognition methods mostly rely on simplified energy potentia...
While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
We present an algorithm to generate samples from probability distributions on the space of curves. Traditional curve evolution methods use gradient descent to find a local minimum...
