One problem in concatenative speech synthesis is how to incorporate prosodic factors in the unit selection. Imposing a predicted prosodic target is error-prone and does not benefi...
Constraint programming has been used in many applications where uncertainty arises to model safe reasoning. The goal of constraint propagation is to propagate intervals of uncerta...
We study two-layer belief networks of binary random variables in which the conditional probabilities Pr childjparents depend monotonically on weighted sums of the parents. In larg...
In this work, we show that the current termination condition of the Probabilistic Packet Marking (PPM) algorithm is not correct for general networks, and this implies the estimati...
This paper investigates the discovery of conditional functional dependencies (CFDs). CFDs are a recent extension of functional dependencies (FDs) by supporting patterns of semantic...
