Speech enabled interfaces and spoken dialog systems are mostly based on statistical speech and language processing modules. Their behavior is therefore not deterministic and hardl...
Dynamic stability is an important issue for vehicles which move heavy loads, turn at speed, or operate on sloped terrain. In many cases, vehicles face more than one of these chall...
This paper introduces a novel statistical mixture model for probabilistic clustering of histogram data and, more generally, for the analysis of discrete co occurrence data. Adoptin...
This paper proposes a framework for training Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) to optimize multivariate evaluation measures, including non-linear measures such as F-score. Our prop...
