Most of the existing work on modeling variable bit rate (VBR) video sources does not either explicitly take into account groupof-pictures (GOP) or assumes a fixed GOP structure. R...
This paper explores what kind of user simulation model is suitable for developing a training corpus for using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) to automatically learn dialog strate...
Simulated tempering and swapping are two families of sampling algorithms in which a parameter representing temperature varies during the simulation. The hope is that this will ove...
We present a class of models that, via a simple construction,
enables exact, incremental, non-parametric, polynomial-time,
Bayesian inference of conditional measures. The approac...
A technique for harmonic analysis is presented that partitions a piece of music into contiguous regions and labels each with the key, mode, and functional chord, e.g. tonic, domin...
