Optimal $δ$-Correct Best-Arm Selection for Heavy-Tailed Distributions
, 2019 Given a finite set of unknown distributions or arms that can be sampled, we consider the problem of identifying the one with the maximum mean using a $δ$-correct algorithm (an adaptive, sequential algorithm that restricts the probability of error to a specified $δ$) that has minimum sample complexity.

Problem-driven scenario generation: an analytical approach for stochastic programs with tail risk measure [PDF]
, 2019 Scenario generation is the construction of a discrete random vector to represent parameters of uncertain values in a stochastic program. Most approaches to scenario generation are distribution-driven, that is, they attempt to construct a random vector ...

A sequential Monte Carlo approach to computing tail probabilities in stochastic models [PDF]
, 2011 Sequential Monte Carlo methods which involve sequential importance sampling and resampling are shown to provide a versatile approach to computing probabilities of rare events.

Learning to Optimize Computational Resources: Frugal Training with Generalization Guarantees
, 2020 Algorithms typically come with tunable parameters that have a considerable impact on the computational resources they consume. Too often, practitioners must hand-tune the parameters, a tedious and error-prone task.

Radiation Oncology, 2021 Background There is a large lack of evidence for optimal treatment in oligometastatic head and neck cancer and it is especially unclear which patients benefit from radical local treatment of all tumour sites.

Validation studies on migraine diagnostic tools for use in nonclinical settings: a systematic review
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria, 2023 Background Migraine underdiagnosis and undertreatment are so widespread, that hence is essential to diagnose migraine sufferers in nonclinical settings.

Evolutionary Computation in High Energy Physics [PDF]
, 2008 Evolutionary Computation is a branch of computer science with which, traditionally, High Energy Physics has fewer connections. Its methods were investigated in this field, mainly for data analysis tasks. These methods and studies are, however, less known

Optimal diet selection by white-tailed deer: Balancing reproduction with starvation risk [PDF]
Evolutionary Ecology, 1992 Summary Energy intake rates of wintering deer vary over time because of variation in the abundance and quality of their natural foods. Accordingly, there is a chance that energy requirements will not be satisfied in a feeding period. This is especially critical because deer are reproductive during winter; hence selecting diets to minimize the risk of ...
