We present a new method for estimating the expected return of a POMDP from experience. The estimator does not assume any knowledge of the POMDP, can estimate the returns for finit...
In this paper requirements and conditions for the visitor identification system are outlined and an example system is proposed. Two main subsystems: face detection and face recogn...
In this paper we discuss the use of discourse context in spoken dialogue systems and argue that the knowledge of the domain, modelled with the help of dialogue topics is important...

A parametric procedure for the blind inversion of nonlinear channels is proposed, based on a recent method of blind source separation in nonlinear mixtures. Experiments show that ...
