We propose a sequence-alignment based method for detecting and disambiguating coordinate conjunctions. In this method, averaged perceptron learning is used to adapt the substituti...
For fast classification under real-time constraints, as required in many imagebased pattern recognition applications, linear discriminant functions are a good choice. Linear discr...
This paper presents a tree-to-tree transduction method for text rewriting. Our model is based on synchronous tree substitution grammar, a formalism that allows local distortion of...
We describe a method to align ASL video subtitles with a closed-caption transcript. Our alignments are partial, based on spotting words within the video sequence, which consists o...
Background: The ability to design thermostable proteins is theoretically important and practically useful. Robust and accurate algorithms, however, remain elusive. One critical pr...
