Most state-of-the-art evaluation measures for machine translation assign high costs to movements of word blocks. In many cases though such movements still result in correct or alm...
Term translation probabilities proved an effective method of semantic smoothing in the language modelling approach to information retrieval. We use Generalized Latent Semantic Ana...
We report work1 in progress on adding affect-detection to an existing program for virtual dramatic improvisation, monitored by a human director. To partially automate the director...
