As probabilistic computations play an increasing role in solving various problems, researchers have designed probabilistic languages that treat probability distributions as primit...
We present an abstract language for distributed systems of processes with local memory and private communication channels. Communication between processes is done via messaging. Th...
Existing languages provide good support for typeful programming of standalone programs. In a distributed system, however, there may be interaction between multiple instances of ma...

This paper describes the design of a scripting language aimed at expressing task (unit of computation) composition and inter-task dependencies of distributed applications whose ex...
Statistical language models estimate the probability of a word occurring in a given context. The most common language models rely on a discrete enumeration of predictive contexts ...
