In this paper we discuss the use of discourse context in spoken dialogue systems and argue that the knowledge of the domain, modelled with the help of dialogue topics is important...
A feedback scheme for preparation of photon number states in a microwave cavity is proposed. Quantum Non Demolition (QND) measurement of the cavity field provides information on it...
We describe a technique for improving the accuracy of range maps measured by time-of-flight (TOF) cameras. The technique is based on the observation that the range map and intensi...
ABSTRACT. We introduce tools from computational homology to verify coverage in an idealized sensor network. Our methods are unique in that, while they are coordinate-free and assum...
A modular system to recognize handwritten numerical strings is proposed. It uses a segmentation-based recognition approach and a Recognition and Verification strategy. The approach...
