— Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes (POMDPs) offer a powerful mathematical framework for making optimal action choices in noisy and/or uncertain environments, in par...
Sparse coding—that is, modelling data vectors as sparse linear combinations of basis elements—is widely used in machine learning, neuroscience, signal processing, and statisti...

Abstract. This paper presents a scalable method for parallel symbolic on-the-fly model checking in a distributed memory environment. Our method combines a scheme for on-the-fly mod...
The recent availability of large collections of text such as the Google 1T 5-gram corpus (Brants and Franz, 2006) and the Gigaword corpus of newswire (Graff, 2003) have made it po...
