We present an algorithm to overcome the local maxima problem in estimating the parameters of mixture models. It combines existing approaches from both EM and a robust fitting algo...
We review the basic principles of Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods, the randomizations that turn them into variancereduction techniques, and the main classes of constructions under...
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a statistical computation method that transforms a random vector in another one whose components are independent. Because the marginal distr...

Many graphics applications represent deformable surfaces through dynamic meshes. To be consistent during deformations, the dynamic meshes require an adaptation process. In this pa...
Evolutionary computation techniques are increasingly being applied to problems within Information Retrieval (IR). Genetic programming (GP) has previously been used with some succe...
