Enhanced Importance Sampling Through Latent Space Exploration in Normalizing Flows

AAAI 2025technical

Importance sampling is a rare event simulation technique used in Monte Carlo simulations to bias the sampling distribution towards the rare event of interest. By assigning appropriate weights to sampled points, importance sampling allows for more efficient estimation of rare events or tails of distr…

Deep Probabilistic Accelerated Evaluation: A Robust Certifiable Rare-Event Simulation Methodology for Black-Box Safety-Critical Systems

AISTATS 2021poster

Evaluating the reliability of intelligent physical systems against rare safety-critical events poses a huge testing burden for real-world applications. Simulation provides a useful platform to evaluate the extremal risks of these systems before their deployments. Importance Sampling (IS), while prov…

Where Should We Place LiDARs on the Autonomous Vehicle? - An Optimal Design Approach

ICRA 2019poster

Autonomous vehicle manufacturers recognize that LiDAR provides accurate 3D views and precise distance measures under highly uncertain driving conditions. Its practical implementation, however, remains costly. This paper investigates the optimal LiDAR configuration problem to achieve utility maximiza…
