We consider the inverse problem of reconstructing the spatial layout of a place, a home floorplan for example, from a user’s movements inside that layout. Direct inversion is ill-posed since many floorplans can explain the same movement trajectories. We adopt a diffusion-based posterior sampler to…
Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have been remarkably successful at synthesizing novel views of 3D scenes by optimizing a volumetric scene function. This scene function models how optical rays bring color information from a 3D object to the camera pixels. Radio frequency (RF) or audio signals can also…
We consider an online optimization problem in a bandit setting in which a learner chooses decisions from a continuous decision set at discrete decision epochs, and receives noisy rewards from the environment in response. While the noise samples are assumed to be independent and sub-Gaussian, the…
Barycentric spanners have been used as an efficient exploration basis in online linear optimization problems in a bandit framework. We characterise the barycentric spanner for decision problems in which the cost (or reward) is a polynomial in a single decision variable. Our characterisation of the b…
