We present the Optimizing Control Variate (OCV) estimator, a new estimator for Monte Carlo rendering. Based upon a deterministic sampling framework, OCV allows multiple importance...

We consider the problem of sequential decentralized detection, a problem that entails several interdependent choices: the choice of a stopping rule (specifying the sample size), a...

In this paper, phase combinations among martensitic variants in shape memory alloys patches and bars are simulated by a hybrid optimization methodology. The mathematical model is ...
In this work, stability control of bipedal standing is investigated. The biped is simplified as an inverted pendulum with a foot-link. The controller consists of a general regres...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
