The paper reviews the development of generic user modeling systems over the past twenty years. It describes their purposes, their services within user-adaptive systems, and the dif...
In this paper we propose discriminative training of hierarchical acoustic models for large vocabulary continuous speech recognition tasks. After presenting our hierarchical modeli...
We propose a new approach to language modeling which utilizes discriminative learning methods. Our approach is an iterative one: starting with an initial language model, in each i...
The interactive, simulation-aided analysis of material flow systems is often done with the help of virtual reality. If a user wants to influence the simulation run, the simulation...
We propose a modification of the widely known Benjamin-Johnson-Hui (BJH) cellular automaton model for single-lane traffic simulation. In particular, our model includes a `slow-to-...
