Development of Phrase Translation Systems for Handheld Computers: from Concept to Field
We describe the development and conceptual evolution of handheld spoken phrase translation systems, beginning with an initial undirectional system for translation of English phrases, and later extending to a limited…

Spatial Temporal and Histogram Video Registration for Digital Watermark Detection
In this paper, we propose a spatial, temporal and histogram (STH) registration algorithm for video sequences. This algorithm is developed based on a frame-level model of the misalignments often introduced…

Iterative Statistical Language Model Generation for Use with an Agent-Oriented Natural Language Interface
We describe a method for developing a statistical language model (SLM) with high keyword spotting accuracy for a natural language interface (NLI). The NLI is based on the Adaptive Agent…

Unlocking The Learning Value Of Wireless Mobile Devices
At the moment ‘wireless mobile technologies for education’ are incredibly diverse and incompatible; to achieve scale, a strong vision will be needed to lead to standardisation, overcoming the tendency to…

Nucleotide sequence based characterizations of two cryptic plasmids from the marine bacterium Ruegeria isolate PR1b
Given the nature of the putative proteins encoded by both plasmids it is possible that these plasmids enhance the metabolic and physiological flexibility of the host bacterium, and thus its…

The Robustness of an Almost-Parsing Language Model Given Errorful Training Data
An almost-parsing language model has been developed that provides a framework for tightly integrating multiple knowledge sources. Lexical features and syntactic constraints are integrated into a uniform linguistic structure (called…

Training a Prosody-Based Dialog Act Tagger from Unlabeled Data
Here we investigate the use of unlabeled data for training HMM-based dialog act taggers. Three techniques are shown to be effective for bootstrapping a tagger from very small amounts of…

A Prosody-based Approach to End-of-Utterance Detection That Does Not Require Speech Recognition
In this paper we demonstrate that the improvements due to the prosodic knowledge can be realized largely without alignment information, i.e., without requiring a speech recognizer. A prosodic end-of-utterance detector…

Charting A Course: Evaluation Design Of The National School District And Network Grants Program
Likely to be one of “the most publicly scrutinized educational initiatives” in recent history, the foundation’s program is providing a catalyst to educators and policy makers to radically reshape secondary…

High Time For High School Reform: Early Findings From The Evaluation Of The National School District And Network Grants Program
This report is one of a series that will be produced over the 5-year course of the National School District and Network Grants Program evaluation. The evaluation examines the extent…
