The areas of On-Line Algorithms and Machine Learning are both concerned with problems of making decisions about the present based only on knowledge of the past. Although these area...
We investigate the use of machine learning in combination with feature engineering techniques to explore human multimodal clarification strategies and the use of those strategies ...
This paper presents our experiments in question answering for speech corpora. These experiments focus on improving the answer extraction step of the QA process. We present two app...
The incremental updating of classifiers implies that their internal parameter values can vary according to incoming data. As a result, in order to achieve high performance, incre...
The design of complex systems, e.g., telecom services, is nowadays usually based on the integration of components (COTS), loosely coupled in distributed architectures. When compon...
