The Dempster-Shafer calculus for statisticians
The Dempster-Shafer (DS) theory of probabilistic reasoning is presented in terms of a semantics whereby every meaningful formal assertion is associated with a triple (p, q, r) whe...

Adaptive MCMC with Bayesian Optimization
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to nondifferentiable objective functions and trades off explor...

Local Color Transfer via Probabilistic Segmentation by Expectation-Maximization
We address the problem of regional color transfer between two natural images by probabilistic segmentation. We use a new Expectation-Maximization (EM) scheme to impose both spatia...

Program verification as probabilistic inference
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for proving the validity or invalidity of a pre/postcondition pair for a program. The algorithm is motivated by the success of the algori...
