Real-time dynamic programming (RTDP) is a heuristic search algorithm for solving MDPs. We present a modified algorithm called Focused RTDP with several improvements. While RTDP ma...
In this paper we address the issue of automatically assigning information status to discourse entities. Using an annotated corpus of conversational English and exploiting morpho-s...
One of the first steps towards understanding natural multimodal language is aligning gesture and speech, so that the appropriate gestures ground referential pronouns in the speech...
We present an efficientmulti-levelchart parser that was designed forsyntacticanalysisofclosedcaptions (subtitles) in a real-time Machine Translation (MT) system. In order to achie...
When pricing options via Monte Carlo simulations, precision can be improved either by performing longer simulations, or by reducing the variance of the estimators. In this paper, ...
