Minimum-error-rate training (MERT) is a bottleneck for current development in statistical machine translation because it is limited in the number of weights it can reliably optimi...
Human linguistic annotation is crucial for many natural language processing tasks but can be expensive and time-consuming. We explore the use of Amazon's Mechanical Turk syst...

Methods for directly estimating the ratio of two probability density functions without going through density estimation have been actively explored recently since they can be used...
Projected computational requirements for future space missions are outpacing technologies and trends in conventional embedded microprocessors. In order to meet the necessary levels...
