For a discrete-time finite-state Markov chain, we develop an adaptive importance sampling scheme to estimate the expected total cost before hitting a set of terminal states. This s...
The de Bruijn digraph B(d, D) has degree d, diameter D, dD vertices and dD+1 arcs. It is usually defined by words of size D on an alphabet of cardinality d, through a cyclic left ...
We describe an open-source toolkit for statistical machine translation whose novel contributions are (a) support for linguistically motivated factors, (b) confusion network decodi...
