We introduce factored language models (FLMs) and generalized parallel backoff (GPB). An FLM represents words as bundles of features (e.g., morphological classes, stems, data-drive...
Predictive state representations (PSRs) use predictions of a set of tests to represent the state of controlled dynamical systems. One reason why this representation is exciting as...
Selective sampling, a form of active learning, reduces the cost of labeling training data by asking only for the labels of the most informative unlabeled examples. We introduce a ...
The role that design by contract plays in the specification, monitoring, and reuse of classes is of increasing importance in the OO community. Although recognizably useful, neverth...
—A new class of distances appropriate for measuring similarity relations between sequences, say one type of similarity per distance, is studied. We propose a new “normalized in...
