This paper considers a shift scheduling problem that includes different forms of flexibility in terms of shift starting times, break lengths and break placement. Two particular ...
We build a model for speech disfluency detection based on conditional random fields (CRFs) using the Switchboard corpus. This model is then applied to a new domain without any ada...
User simulations are shown to be useful in spoken dialog system development. Since most current user simulations deploy probability models to mimic human user behaviors, how to se...
Storing data according to the multidimensional model, in particular following star schemas, has demonstrated to be one of the most adequate forms to ease the exploration of data. ...
Thumbnail cropping helps improve thumbnail readability by cropping images before shrinking them. In this paper we propose a learning based method for automatic thumbnail cropping....
