A Noisy-Channel Approach to Question Answering
We introduce a probabilistic noisychannel model for question answering and we show how it can be exploited in the context of an end-to-end QA system. Our noisy-channel system outp...

Safety Analysis of an Airbag System Using Probabilistic FMEA and Probabilistic Counterexamples
—Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a technique to reason about possible system hazards that result from system or system component failures. Traditionally, FMEA does no...

On Reduction Criteria for Probabilistic Reward Models
In recent papers, the partial order reduction approach has been adapted to reason about the probabilities for temporal properties in concurrent systems with probabilistic behaviour...

A Representation Theorem and Applications
We introduce a set of transformations on the set of all probability distributions over a finite state space, and show that these transformations are the only ones that preserve c...

An Interactive Approach to Pose-Assisted and Appearance-based Segmentation of Humans
An interactive human segmentation approach is described. Given regions of interest provided by users, the approach iteratively estimates segmentation via a generalized EM algorith...
