This paper presents a new pooling method for constructing the assessment sets used in the evaluation of retrieval systems. Our proposal is based on RankBoost, a machine learning v...
We study the problem of two-dimensional Delaunay triangulation in the self-improving algorithms model [1]. We assume that the n points of the input each come from an independent, ...
This work presents an agenda-based approach to improve the robustness of the dialog manager by using dialog examples and n-best recognition hypotheses. This approach supports n-be...
Rich computer simulations or quantitative models can enable an agent to realistically predict real-world behavior with precision and performance that is difficult to emulate in log...
Intelligent tutoring systems adapt to users' cognitive factors, but typically not to affective or conative factors. Crowd-sourcing may be a way to create materials that engage...
