In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
Functional verification is widely acknowledged as the bottleneck in the hardware design cycle. This paper addresses one of the main challenges of simulation based verification (or...
The use of generic and generative methods for the development and application of interactive educational software is a relatively unexplored area in industry and education. Advant...
Many difficult visual perception problems, like 3D human motion estimation, can be formulated in terms of inference using complex generative models, defined over high-dimensional ...
A human annotator can provide hints to a machine learner by highlighting contextual "rationales" for each of his or her annotations (Zaidan et al., 2007). How can one ex...
