Ray tracing techniques need supersampling to reduce aliasing and/or noise in the final image. Since not all the pixels in the image require the same number of rays, supersampling...
Log-concavity is an important property in the context of optimization, Laplace approximation, and sampling; Bayesian methods based on Gaussian process priors have become quite pop...
Online mechanism design (OMD) addresses the problem of sequential decision making in a stochastic environment with multiple self-interested agents. The goal in OMD is to make valu...

We describe latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), a generative probabilistic model for collections of discrete data such as text corpora. LDA is a three-level hierarchical Bayesian m...
Information extraction from HTML pages has been conventionally treated as plain text documents extended with HTML tags. However, the growing maturity and correct usage of HTML/XHT...
