We have implemented an incremental lexical acquisition mechanism that learns the meanings of previously unknown words from the context in which they appear, as a part of the proce...
We present new algorithms for local planning over Markov decision processes. The base-level algorithm possesses several interesting features for control of computation, based on s...
We present a stochastic finite-state model for segmenting Chinese text into dictionary entries and productively derived words, and providing pronunciations for these words; the me...
