This paper presents a novel approach to automatic captioning of geo-tagged images by summarizing multiple webdocuments that contain information related to an image's location...
In this essay we discuss the origin, central results, and some perspectives of algorithmic synthesis of nonterminating reactive programs. We recall the fundamental questions raised...
Trigram language models are compressed using a Golomb coding method inspired by the original Unix spell program. Compression methods trade off space, time and accuracy (loss). The...
A Kripke Semantics is defined for a higher-order logic programming language with constraints, based on Church’s Theory of Types and a generic constraint formalism. Our syntactic...
