Realistic acoustic modeling is essential for spatializing sound in distributed virtual environments where multiple networked users move around and interact visually and aurally in...
We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
We study the edge-coloring problem in the message-passing model of distributed computing. This is one of the most fundamental problems in this area. Currently, the best-known dete...
Towards a unifying model of concurrency, we have designed and implemented LMNtal (pronounced "elemental"), a model and language based on hierarchical graph rewriting tha...
In this paper we present a joint content selection and compression model for single-document summarization. The model operates over a phrase-based representation of the source doc...
