We study a sequential variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo estimation of functionals in Markov Chains. The method is based on designing sequential control variates using s...
We describe a two-layer architecture for supporting semantic interpretation and domain reasoning in dialogue systems. Building systems that support both semantic interpretation an...

We present the results and the lessons learned from two separate and independent studies into the design, development, and evaluation of electronic books for information access: th...
In this paper we propose a numerical method for approximating the product of a matrix function with multiple vectors by Krylov subspace methods combined with a QR decomposition of...
Abstract. Many problems in Information and Data Management require a semantic account of a database schema. At its best, such an account consists of formulas expressing the relatio...
