We describe experiments in visual-only language identification, in which only lip-shape and lip-motion are used to determine the language of a spoken utterance. We focus on the t...
Programming paradigms are often skewed towards a particular domain of problems, thus one effective way to utilize them is through a multiparadigm approach to software development....
Recent approaches to learning structured predictors often require approximate inference for tractability; yet its effects on the learned model are unclear. Meanwhile, most learnin...
We show that jointly parsing a bitext can substantially improve parse quality on both sides. In a maximum entropy bitext parsing model, we define a distribution over source trees,...
The synchronous model of computation divides the execution of a program into an infinite sequence of socalled macro steps, which are further divided into finitely many micro steps....
