Web-Based Question Answering: A Decision-Making Perspective
We investigate the use of probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide the operation of a Web-based question-answering system. We first provide an overview of research ...

A type theory for probability density functions
There has been great interest in creating probabilistic programming languages to simplify the coding of statistical tasks; however, there still does not exist a formal language th...

A probabilistic approach to inference with limited information in sensor networks
We present a methodology for a sensor network to answer queries with limited and stochastic information using probabilistic techniques. This capability is useful in that it allows...

Probabilistic State-Dependent Grammars for Plan Recognition
Techniques for plan recognition under uncertainty require a stochastic model of the plangeneration process. We introduce probabilistic state-dependent grammars (PSDGs) to represen...

Selectivity Estimation using Probabilistic Models
Estimating the result size of complex queries that involve selection on multiple attributes and the join of several relations is a difficult but fundamental task in database query...
