Database Links are a Foundation for Interoperability
This article provides an overview of the DB-interoperation problem, and offers several solutions. It discusses how links are used in molecular biology DBs, and describes the potential stumbling blocks when…

Statistical Language Modeling for Speech Disfluencies
We introduce a language model that predicts disfluencies probabilistically and uses an edited, fluent context to predict following words. It uses dynamic programming to compute the probability of a word…
-
The Fundamental matrix: theory, algorithms, and stability analysis
We analyze in some detail the geometry of a pair of cameras, i.e., a stereo rig. Contrarily to what has been done in the past and is still done currently,…

A Machine Learning Architecture for Optimizing Web Search Engines
We describe a wide range of such heuristics including a novel one inspired by reinforcement learning techniques for propagating rewards through a graph|which can be used to affect a search…

Designing For Cognitive Communication: Epistemic Fidelity Or Mediating Collaborating Inquiry
aps between worldviews prevent students from interpreting displays literally, and thus limit the extent to which communication can be achieved by representing knowledge accurately. Hence, rather than merely representing mental…

A Phone-Dependent Confidence Measure for Utterance Rejection
An acoustic confidence measure for acceptance/rejection of recognition hypotheses for continuous speech utterances is proposed. This measure is useful for rejecting utterances that are out of domain, or contain out-of-vocabulary…

HinCyc: A Knowledge Base of the Complete Genome and Metabolic Pathways of H. influenzae
We present a methodology for predicting the metabolic pathways of an organism from its genomic sequence.

An Experimental Study of Acoustic Adaptation Algorithms
In this paper we focus on transformation-based maximum-likelihood (ML) adaptation.

Advisable Planning Systems
The Advisable Planner project seeks to make AI planning technology more accessible and easier to use through the metaphor of advice-taking. In particular, we are developing an advisable planning system…

Self-Calibration of a Stereo Rig from Unknown Camera Motions and Point Correspondences
We show theoretically and with experiments on real images, how it is possible to completely calibrate a stereo rig, that is to determine each camera’s intrinsic parameters and the relative…

Globe Year 1 Evaluation: Findings
Global learning and observations to benefit the environment (GLOBE) is an international environmental science and education program involving elementary and secondary school students in the collection of data concerning their…
