Two classic “phase transitions” in discrete mathematics are the emergence of a giant component in a random graph as the density of edges increases, and the transition of a rand...
Pipelined Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems have grown increasingly complex as architectural modules were added to support language functionalities such as referring expre...
We explore the phenomena of subjective randomness as a case study in understanding how people discover structure embedded in noise. We present a rational account of randomness per...
The execution order of a block of computer instructions can make a difference in its running time by a factor of two or more. In order to achieve the best possible speed, compiler...
Stochastic optimization algorithms typically use learning rate schedules that behave asymptotically as (t) = 0=t. The ensemble dynamics (Leen and Moody, 1993) for such algorithms ...
