This paper explores what kind of user simulation model is suitable for developing a training corpus for using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) to automatically learn dialog strate...
This paper proposes a statistical, treeto-tree model for producing translations. Two main contributions are as follows: (1) a method for the extraction of syntactic structures wit...
Language modeling is to associate a sequence of words with a priori probability, which is a key part of many natural language applications such as speech recognition and statistic...
With modern simulation packages, the modeler can choose almost any standard statistical distribution for generating input random variables. The question arises as to how sensitive...
We propose a model for the World Wide Web graph that couples the topological growth with the traffic's dynamical evolution. The model is based on a simple traffic-driven dynam...
