Probabilistic models for pattern statistics
In this work we study some probabilistic models for the random generation of words over a given alphabet used in the literature in connection with pattern statistics. Our goal is t...

Describing Visual Scenes Using Transformed Objects and Parts
We develop hierarchical, probabilistic models for objects, the parts composing them, and the visual scenes surrounding them. Our approach couples topic models originally developed...

Spoken language interaction with model uncertainty: an adaptive human-robot interaction system
Spoken language is one of the most intuitive forms of interaction between humans and agents. Unfortunately, agents that interact with people using natural language often experienc...

A probabilistic multimodal approach for predicting listener backchannels
During face-to-face interactions, listeners use backchannel feedback such as head nods as a signal to the speaker that the communication is working and that they should continue sp...

Climbing the Tower of Babel: Unsupervised Multilingual Learning
For centuries, scholars have explored the deep links among human languages. In this paper, we present a class of probabilistic models that use these links as a form of naturally o...

A System for Ontologically-Grounded Probabilistic Matching
This paper is part of a project to match descriptions of real-world instances and probabilistic models, both of which can be described at mulvel of abstraction and detail. We use ...

Word-Sense Disambiguation Using Decomposable Models
Most probabilistic classi ers used for word-sense disambiguationhave either been based on onlyone contextual feature or have used a model that is simply assumed to characterize th...

Discovering Hidden Variables: A Structure-Based Approach
A serious problem in learning probabilistic models is the presence of hidden variables. These variables are not observed, yet interact with several of the observed variables. As s...
