We introduce a probabilistic noisychannel model for question answering and we show how it can be exploited in the context of an end-to-end QA system. Our noisy-channel system outp...
Abstract. One important advantage of logic programming is that it allows the implicit exploitation of parallelism. Towards this goal, we suggest that or-parallelism can be efficien...
This paper is concerned with the efficient transmission of scalable compressed images with complex dependency structures over lossy communication channels. Our recent work propose...
Irregular algorithms are organized around pointer-based data structures such as graphs and trees, and they are ubiquitous in applications. Recent work by the Galois project has pr...
Web object is defined to represent any meaningful object embedded in web pages (e.g. images, music) or pointed to by hyperlinks (e.g. downloadable files). Users usually search for...
