This paper presents recent work using the Chill parser acquisition system to automate the construction of a natural-language interface for database queries. Chill treats parser ac...
In this paper we propose a new probability update rule and sampling procedure for population-based incremental learning. These proposed methods are based on the concept of opposit...
We propose a family of learning algorithms based on a new form of regularization that allows us to exploit the geometry of the marginal distribution. We focus on a semi-supervised...
Animated pedagogical agents that inhabit interactive learning environments can exhibit strikingly lifelike behaviors. In addition to providing problem-solving advice in response t...
