In this paper, we study how to build a vision-based system for global localization with accuracies within 10cm. for robots and humans operating both indoors and outdoors over wide...
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
