Models of computer users that are learned on the basis of data can make use of two types of information: data about users in general and data about the current individual user. Fo...
The rule-based bootstrapping introduced by Yarowsky, and its cotraining variant by Blum and Mitchell, have met with considerable empirical success. Earlier work on the theory of c...

In their pioneering paper [4], Gallager et al. introduced a distributed algorithm for constructing the minimum-weight spanning tree (MST), many authors have suggested ways to enhan...
An autonomous variational inference algorithm for arbitrary graphical models requires the ability to optimize variational approximations over the space of model parameters as well...
We present a framework for computing generalized distance transforms and skeletons of two-dimensional objects using graphics hardware. Our method is based on the concept of footpr...
