Hybrid Random Concentrated Optimization Without Convexity Assumption

Pierre Bertrand, Michel Broniatowski, Wolfgang Stummer

We propose a new random method to minimize deterministic continuous functions over subsets of high-dimensional space without assuming convexity. Our pr…

Continuous indetermination and average likelihood minimization

Pierre Bertrand, Michel Broniatowski, Jean-François Marcotorchino

The authors transpose a discrete notion of indetermination coupling in the case of continuous probabilities. They show that this coupling, expressed on densities, cannot be capture…

A constructive method to minimize couple matchings

Pierre Bertrand, Michel Broniatowski, Jean-François Marcotorchino

This paper provides constructive procedures for the indeterminacy coupling between two marginal distributions, an alternative to independence coupling. It also introduces a drawing…

Independence versus Indetermination: basis of two canonical clustering criteria

Pierre Bertrand, Michel Broniatowski, Jean-François Marcotorchino

This paper aims at comparing two coupling approaches as basic layers for building clustering criteria, suited for modularizing and clustering very large networks. We briefly use "o…

The 1-2-3-Toolkit for Building Your Own Balls-into-Bins Algorithm

Pierre Bertrand, Christoph Lenzen

In this work, we examine a generic class of simple distributed balls-into-bins algorithms. Exploiting the strong concentration bounds that apply to balls-into-bins games, we provid…
