The max-sum classifier predicts n-tuple of labels from n-tuple of observable variables by maximizing a sum of quality functions defined over neighbouring pairs of labels and obser...
The paper presents the Position Specific Posterior Lattice (PSPL), a novel lossy representation of automatic speech recognition lattices that naturally lends itself to efficient ...
Distributed estimation of an unknown signal is a common task in sensor networks. The scenario usually envisioned consists of several nodes, each making an observation correlated wi...
Word usage is domain dependent. A common word in one domain can be quite infrequent in another. In this study we exploit this property of word usage to improve document routing. W...
In many application domains there is a large amount of unlabeled data but only a very limited amount of labeled training data. One general approach that has been explored for util...
