Adaptor grammars extend probabilistic context-free grammars to define prior distributions over trees with "rich get richer" dynamics. Inference for adaptor grammars seek...
Vessel enhancement in volumetric data is a necessary prerequisite in various medical imaging applications with particular importance for automated nodule detection. Ideally, vesse...
Rao–Blackwellization is an approximation technique for probabilistic inference that flexibly combines exact inference with sampling. It is useful in models where conditioning o...
Many semantic parsing models use tree transformations to map between natural language and meaning representation. However, while tree transformations are central to several state-...
