A Tutorial on the Cross-Entropy Method
The cross-entropy (CE) method is a new generic approach to combinatorial and multi-extremal optimization and rare event simulation. The purpose of this tutorial is to give a gentle introduction to the CE method. We present the CE methodology, the basic algorithm and its modifications, and discuss applications in combinatorial optimization and machine learning.
متن کاملThe Cross-Entropy Method
This report is a summary of the theory underlying the Cross-Entropy (CE) method, as discussed in the tutorial by de Boer, Kroese, Mannor and Rubinstein [1]. For a more thorough discussion of the method and its applications, please refer to the original tutorial and the references cited in the tutorial. The CE method, pioneered by Rubinstein in 1997 as an adaptive algorithm for estimating probab...
متن کاملCross-Entropy Method
The cross-entropy method is a recent versatile Monte Carlo technique. This article provides a brief introduction to the cross-entropy method and discusses how it can be used for rare-event probability estimation and for solving combinatorial, continuous, constrained and noisy optimization problems. A comprehensive list of references on cross-entropy methods and applications is included.

15 صفحه اولThe On-line Cross Entropy Method for Unsupervised Data Exploration
We investigate the use of the new Cross Entropy method as a tool for exploratory data analysis. We show how this method can be used to perform linear projections such as principal component analysis, exploratory projection pursuit and canonical correlation analysis. We further go on to show how topology preserving mappings can be created usin the cross entropy method. We also show how the cross...
