Abstract. Quantitative verification techniques are able to establish system properties such as "the probability of an airbag failing to deploy on demand" or "the exp...
In this paper, we analyze the formation of blocking artifacts as a result of quantization of the discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients. These artifacts are known to be the ...
Concurrent process calculi are powerful formalisms for modelling concurrent systems. The mathematical style underlying process calculi allow to both model and verify properties of...
We introduce a probabilistic noisychannel model for question answering and we show how it can be exploited in the context of an end-to-end QA system. Our noisy-channel system outp...
Speech enabled interfaces and spoken dialog systems are mostly based on statistical speech and language processing modules. Their behavior is therefore not deterministic and hardl...
