We develop a method for predicting query performance by computing the relative entropy between a query language model and the corresponding collection language model. The resultin...
In this paper we study a subclass of pebble automata (PA) for data languages for which the emptiness problem is decidable. Namely, we show that the emptiness problem for weak 2-peb...
This paper proposes a novel approach to segment three dimensional curvilinear structures, particularly vessels in angiography, by inspecting the symmetry of image gradients. The pr...
In adding syntax to statistical MT, there is a tradeoff between taking advantage of linguistic analysis, versus allowing the model to exploit linguistically unmotivated mappings l...
This paper proposes a View-Oriented Update Protocol with Integrated Diff for efficient implementation of a View-based Consistency model which supports a novel View-Oriented Paral...
