Fall 2023
We consider stochastic generalized linear bandit (GLB) problems when the reward distributions are log-concave and subgaussian. We consider for this problem the perturbed history exploration (PHE) algorithmIn each round of its operation, PHE perturbs the observed rewards by adding fresh noise to...

Physically-based baking animation using smoothed particle hydrodynamics for non-Newtonian fluids
DownloadSpring 2011
This thesis explores the mesh-free fluid simulation method of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, and its application in the modelling of the baking process. A framework is proposed to generate dramatic-looking animations while maintaining the simulation physically plausible. In this framework, SPH...

Pinball is fast-paced arcade-style game of which the origins date back hundreds of years. Game playing robots exist for billiards, foosball, and soccer and each have their own unique challenges. The speed that balls move in pinball machines requires that players have quick reactions. We created...
