Statistical user simulation is a promising methodology to train and evaluate the performance of (spoken) dialog systems. We work with a modular architecture for data-driven simula...
In recent years, many approaches to XML twig pattern query (TPQ) processing have been developed. Some algorithms are supported by a stream abstract data type. s an abstract data ty...
This paper presents a new approach for the binarization of seriously degraded manuscript. We introduce a new technique based on a Markov Random Field (MRF) model of the document. ...
Combining the ant colony algorithm (ACA) and the neural network (NN), the present paper puts forward an approach to traffic volume forecasting based on the ant colony neural netwo...
Morphological reconstruction is an important image operator from mathematical morphology. It is very often used for filtering, segmentation, and feature extraction. However, its c...
