Hyperlink analysis is a successful approach to define algorithms which compute the relevance of a document on the basis of the citation graph. In this paper we propose a technique...
Building data integration systems today is largely done by hand, in a very labor intensive and error prone process. In this paper, we describe a conceptually new solution to this ...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) and contingency planning (CP) are two widely used approaches to planning under uncertainty. MDPs are attractive because the model is extremely gen...
In rule-based systems, goal-oriented computations correspond naturally to the possible ways that an observation may be explained. In some applications, we need to compute explanat...
This poster describes methods to enable intelligent access to multimodal information streams. We illustrate these methods in two integrated systems: the Broadcast News Editor (BNE...
