Maximising the detection of intrusions is a fundamental and often critical aim of perimeter surveillance. Commonly, this requires a decision-maker to optimally allocate multiple searchers to segments of the perimeter. We consider a scenario…

In a multi-armed bandit problem, an online algorithm chooses from a set of strategies in a sequence of trials so as to maximize the total payoff of the chosen strategies. While the performance of bandit algorithms with a small finite…

Deep Neural Network guided Monte-Carlo Tree Search (DNN-MCTS) is a powerful class of AI algorithms. In DNN-MCTS, a Deep Neural Network model is trained collaboratively with a dynamic Monte-Carlo search tree to guide the agent towards…

Continuous harvesting and storage of multiple fruits in a single operation allow robots to significantly reduce the travel distance required for repetitive back-and-forth movements. Traditional collision-free path planning algorithms, such…

Partial monitoring is an expressive framework for sequential decision-making with an abundance of applications, including graph-structured and dueling bandits, dynamic pricing and transductive feedback models. We survey and extend recent…

High-dimensional data are ubiquitous in contemporary science and finding methods to compress them is one of the primary goals of machine learning. Given a dataset lying in a high-dimensional space (in principle hundreds to several thousands…

Open Modification Search (OMS) is a promising algorithm for mass spectrometry analysis that enables the discovery of modified peptides. However, OMS encounters challenges as it exponentially extends the search scope. Existing OMS…

Feature subset selection, as a special case of the general subset selection problem, has been the topic of a considerable number of studies due to the growing importance of data-mining applications. In the feature subset selection problem…

Software-intensive systems, such as software product lines and robotics, utilise Markov decision processes (MDPs) to capture uncertainty and analyse sequential decision-making problems. Despite the usefulness of conventional policy…

Active search is the process of identifying high-value data points in a large and often high-dimensional parameter space that can be expensive to evaluate. Traditional active search techniques like Bayesian optimization trade off…

We consider (stochastic) softmax policy gradient (PG) methods for bandits and tabular Markov decision processes (MDPs). While the PG objective is non-concave, recent research has used the objective's smoothness and gradient domination…

Conversational AI systems often struggle with maintaining coherent, contextual memory across extended interactions, limiting their ability to provide personalized and contextually relevant responses. This paper presents IMDMR (Intelligent…

We consider the query recommendation problem in closed loop interactive learning settings like online information gathering and exploratory analytics. The problem can be naturally modelled using the Multi-Armed Bandits (MAB) framework with…

Multi-view Stereo (MVS) with known camera parameters is essentially a 1D search problem within a valid depth range. Recent deep learning-based MVS methods typically densely sample depth hypotheses in the depth range, and then construct…

Optimizing trajectory costs for nonlinear control systems remains a significant challenge. Model Predictive Control (MPC), particularly sampling-based approaches such as the Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) method, has recently…

We investigate the use of message-passing algorithms for the problem of finding the max-weight independent set (MWIS) in a graph. First, we study the performance of the classical loopy max-product belief propagation. We show that each fixed…

This work introduces MADS-PIP, an efficient framework that integrates a penalty-interior point strategy into the mesh adaptive direct search (MADS) algorithm for solving nonsmooth blackbox optimization problems with general inequality and…

In the Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) problem, a set of agents moving on a graph must reach their own respective destinations without inter-agent collisions. In practical MAPF applications such as navigation in automated warehouses, where…

Multi-arm bandits are gaining popularity as they enable real-world sequential decision-making across application areas, including clinical trials, recommender systems, and online decision-making. Consequently, there is an increased desire…

Frequent Subgraph Mining (FSM) is the process of identifying common subgraph patterns that surpass a predefined frequency threshold. While FSM is widely applicable in fields like bioinformatics, chemical analysis, and social network anomaly…
