Abstract. This paper presents algorithms and data structures that exploit a compositional and hierarchical specification to enable more efficient symbolic modelchecking. We encod...
Heckerman (1993) defined causal independence in terms of a set of temporal conditional independence statements. These statements formalized certain types of causal interaction whe...
Statistical machine translation systems are usually trained on large amounts of bilingual text (used to learn a translation model), and also large amounts of monolingual text in th...
We address appropriate user modeling in order to generate cooperative responses to each user in spoken dialogue systems. Unlike previous studies that focus on user’s knowledge o...
Standard hidden Markov models (HMM's) have been studied extensively in the last two decades. It is well known that these models assume state conditional independence of the ob...
