We give algorithms to find the optimal disjoint paths around a rectangle. The set of disjoint paths connects a set of sources to a set of sinks (no fixed pairing between the sour...
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
: This paper proposes a new inference approach for Chinese probabilistic context-free grammar, which implements the EM algorithm based on the bracket matching schemes. By utilizing...
This paper addresses the problem of dynamic model parameter selection for loglinear model based statistical machine translation (SMT) systems. In this work, we propose a principle...
This paper1 presents an algorithm for automatically detecting bone contours from hand radiographs using active contours. Prior knowledge is first used to locate initial contours f...
