This paper describes the use of a genetic algorithm to solve a hydrology design problem - determining an optimal or near-optimal prescription of Best Management Practices in a flo...
We outline the problem of ad hoc rules in treebanks, rules used for specific constructions in one data set and unlikely to be used again. These include ungeneralizable rules, erro...
We describe the first tractable Gibbs sampling procedure for estimating phrase pair frequencies under a probabilistic model of phrase alignment. We propose and evaluate two nonpar...
Most proteins function only when folded into a particular 3D configuration. Recently, a class of proteins has been discovered that do not fold into any particular configuration; t...
