We introduce a stochastic model to characterize the online computational process of an object recognition system based on a hierarchy of classifiers. The model is a graphical netwo...
Speech repairs occur often in spontaneous spoken dialogues. The ability to detect and correct those repairs is necessary for any spoken language system. We present a framework to ...
We present a single-stage multiple-comparison procedure for comparing parameters of independent systems, where the parameters are not necessarily means or steady-state means. We a...
Approximate dynamic programming is emerging as a powerful tool for certain classes of multistage stochastic, dynamic problems that arise in operations research. It has been applie...
While stochastic local search (SLS) techniques are very efficient in solving hard randomly generated propositional satisfiability (SAT) problem instances, a major challenge is to i...
