Comparing and Combining Generative and Posterior Probability Models: Some Advances in Sentence Boundary Detection in Speech
We compare and contrast two different models for detecting sentence-like units in continuous speech. Both models combine lexical, syntactic, and prosodic information.

A Minimal Solution to the Generalized 3-Point Pose Problem
It is a well known classical result that given the image projections of three known world points it is possible to solve for the pose of a calibrated perspective camera to up to four pairs of solutions.

Teacher Professional Development, Technology, And Communities Of Practice: Are We Putting The Cart Before The Horse?
In this paper, we seek guideposts to help education technologists understand the nature of local K-12 education communities of practice specifically their reciprocal relationship with teacher professional development and instructional improvement interventions—as a prerequisite to designing online sociotechnical infrastructure that supports the professional growth of education professionals.

Modeling NERFs for Speaker Recognition
We introduce a new type of feature to capture long-range patterns associated with individual speakers or with speaking styles. NERFs, or Nonuniform Extraction Region Features, are defined based on regions of speech that are delimited by various automatically extractable events of interest. We propose three methods for modeling NERFs that cope with missing features.

National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study (NEILS): Expenditure Study
This study used the “ingredients” approach or Resource Cost Model (RCM) to analyze early intervention expenditures. The RCM represents a bottom-up methodology for organizing and analyzing resource allocation data.
