Discrete stochastic optimization using linear interpolation
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....

Nonholonomic source seeking in switching random fields
We consider the problem of designing controllers for nonholonomic mobile robots converging to the source (minimum) of a field. In addition to the mobility constraints posed by the ...

Learning for Optical Flow Using Stochastic Optimization
Abstract. We present a technique for learning the parameters of a continuousstate Markov random field (MRF) model of optical flow, by minimizing the training loss for a set of grou...

When LP is the Cure for Your Matching Woes: Improved Bounds for Stochastic Matchings
Abstract Consider a random graph model where each possible edge e is present independently with some probability pe. Given these probabilities, we want to build a large/heavy match...

A parallelizable dynamic fleet management model with random travel times
In this paper, we present a stochastic model for the dynamic fleet management problem with random travel times. Our approach decomposes the problem into time-staged subproblems by...
