Photographs and images often have regions which are in some sense flawed. Often, there may be a stain or an undesired feature covering a significant portion of the image, and an a...
We describe a framework for inducing probabilistic grammars from corpora of positive samples. First, samples are incorporated by adding ad-hoc rules to a working grammar; subseque...
Spoken dialogue managers have benefited from using stochastic planners such as Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). However, so far, MDPs do not handle well noisy and ambiguous speec...
A novel control method is proposed for networked control systems with nonlinear process, probably non-Gaussian process noise and time delays. The performance index of closed loop c...
Evolutionary computation techniques are increasingly being applied to problems within Information Retrieval (IR). Genetic programming (GP) has previously been used with some succe...
