Self-Avoiding Random Dynamics on Integer Complex Systems
Firas Hamze, Ziyu Wang, Nando de Freitas
This paper introduces a new specialized algorithm for equilibrium Monte Carlo sampling of binary-valued systems, which allows for large moves in the state space. This is achieved b…
Bayesian Optimization for Adaptive MCMC
Nimalan Mahendran, Ziyu Wang, Firas Hamze +1
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to non-differentiable objective functions and trades off explorat…
Learning where to Attend with Deep Architectures for Image Tracking
Misha Denil, Loris Bazzani, Hugo Larochelle +1
We discuss an attentional model for simultaneous object tracking and recognition that is driven by gaze data. Motivated by theories of perception, the model consists of two interac…
