A mechanism for efficient mean-shift belief propagation (MSBP) is introduced. The novelty of our work is to use mean-shift to perform nonparametric mode-seeking on belief surfaces...
We propose a frame structure that is augmented with belief functions to model knowledge in a spoken dialog system. In addition we propose methods to combine belief functions in the...
Agents must form and update mental models about each other in a wide range of domains: team coordination, plan recognition, social simulation, user modeling, games of incomplete i...
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
This paper describes an integrated approach for interpreting a user’s responses and generating replies in the framework of a WWW-based Bayesian argumentation system. Our system c...
