This paper describes an algorithm for exact decoding of phrase-based translation models, based on Lagrangian relaxation. The method recovers exact solutions, with certificates of...
We demonstrate that log-linear grammars with latent variables can be practically trained using discriminative methods. Central to efficient discriminative training is a hierarchi...
We address the applicability of blind source separation (BSS) methods for the estimation of hidden influences in biological dynamic systems such as metabolic or gene regulatory net...
Understanding the variation of recombination rates across a given genome is crucial for disease gene mapping and for detecting signatures of selection, to name just a couple of app...
We discuss the advantages of lexicalized tree-adjoining grammar as an alternative to lexicalized PCFG for statistical parsing, describingthe induction of a probabilistic LTAG mode...
