The Bayesian framework offers a number of techniques for inferring an individual's knowledge state from evidence of mastery of concepts or skills. A typical application where ...
This paper is about the use of metric data structures in high-dimensionalor non-Euclidean space to permit cached sufficientstatisticsaccelerationsof learning algorithms. It has re...
We present two discriminative methods for name transliteration. The methods correspond to local and global modeling approaches in modeling structured output spaces. Both methods d...
Searching for optimal solutions to a problem using lower bounds obtained from a relaxation is a common idea in Heuristic Search and Planning. In SAT and CSPs, however, explicit rel...
