A weight-bounded importance sampling method for variance reduction
... As we know that IS is good in the safe region, we will obtain an estimate with high accuracy. As such, we obtain an IS estimator which is biased but guaranteed to have a finite variance. A key issue in this idea is how ...

Importance Sampling for Minibatches
... Batch algorithms—methods that need to look at all the data before taking a single step to update the predictor—have long been known to be prohibitively impractical to use. Typical examples of batch methods are gradient ...

Quantile Estimation with Adaptive Importance Sampling
... Our method for quantile estimation does not rely on large deviation prin- ciples. Instead, it is adaptive. Adaptive algorithms, but only for expected values and not for quantiles, are introduced in the work of [ 2 ...
