This paper presents a general framework for building classifiers that deal with short and sparse text & Web segments by making the most of hidden topics discovered from larges...
The conditional phrase translation probabilities constitute the principal components of phrase-based machine translation systems. These probabilities are estimated using a heurist...
The process of learning models from raw data typically requires a substantial amount of user input during the model initialization phase. We present an assistive visualization sys...
In this paper, we address the tasks of detecting, segmenting, parsing, and matching deformable objects. We use a novel probabilistic object model that we call a hierarchical defor...
This paper uses Factored Latent Analysis (FLA) to learn a factorized, segmental representation for observations of tracked objects over time. Factored Latent Analysis is latent cl...
