Best Arm Identification in Multi-Armed Bandits
We consider the problem of finding the best arm in a stochastic multi-armed bandit game. The regret of a forecaster is here defined by the gap between the mean reward of the optim...

Hardware implementation of micropolygon rasterization with motion and defocus blur
Current GPUs rasterize micropolygons (polygons approximately one pixel in size) inefficiently. Additionally, they do not natively support triangle rasterization with jittered samp...
