Abstract-- We consider reinforcement learning, and in particular, the Q-learning algorithm in large state and action spaces. In order to cope with the size of the spaces, a functio...
This overview article reviews the structure of a fully statistical spoken dialogue system (SDS), using as illustration, various systems and components built at Cambridge over the ...
Much compiler-orientated work in the area of mapping parallel programs to parallel architectures has ignored the issue of external workload. Given that the majority of platforms w...
Web caching techniques reduce user-perceived latency by serving the most popular web objects from an intermediate memory. In order to assure that reused objects are not stale, cond...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
