The most critical issue in generating and recognizing paraphrases is development of wide-coverage paraphrase knowledge. Previous work on paraphrase acquisition has collected lexic...
We present a parallel implementation of a probabilistic algorithm for real time tracking of segments in noisy edge images. Given an initial solution ?a set of segments that reason...
We introduce a probabilistic formalism subsuming Markov random fields of bounded tree width and probabilistic context free grammars. Our models are based on a representation of Bo...

Abstract--Model checkers for concurrent probabilistic systems have become very popular within the last decade. The study of long-run average behavior has however received only scan...
Record linkage analysis, which matches records referring to the same real world entities from different data sets, is an important task in data integration. Uncertainty often exi...
