Stochastic optimization algorithms typically use learning rate schedules that behave asymptotically as (t) = 0=t. The ensemble dynamics (Leen and Moody, 1993) for such algorithms ...
— This paper reviews two streams of development, from the 1940’s to the present, in signal detection theory: the structure of the likelihood ratio for detecting signals in nois...
Abstract-- We study the convergence rate of average consensus algorithms in networks with stochastic communication failures. We show how the system dynamics can be modeled by a dis...
Although the populations of biological systems are inherently discrete and their dynamics are strongly stochastic, it is usual to consider their limiting behaviour for large envir...
Relational world models that can be learned from experience in stochastic domains have received significant attention recently. However, efficient planning using these models rema...
