— Localization for low cost humanoid or animal-like personal robots has to rely on cheap sensors and has to be robust to user manipulations of the robot. We present a visual loca...
The effects of word recognition errors (WRE) in Spoken Document Retrieval have been well studied and well reported in recent Information Retrieval (IR) literature. Much less exper...
The class of dual φ-divergence estimators (introduced in Broniatowski and Keziou (2009) [6]) is explored with respect to robustness through the influence function approach. For ...
Two kinds of systems have been defined during the long history of WSD: principled systems that define which knowledge types are useful for WSD, and robust systems that use the info...
In the robust track, we mainly tested our passage-based retrieval model with different passage sizes and weighting schemes. In our approach, we used two retrieval models, namely t...
