We present a novel message passing algorithm for approximating the MAP problem in graphical models. The algorithm is similar in structure to max-product but unlike max-product it ...
In many applications, we monitor data obtained from multiple streaming sources for collective decision making. The task presents several challenges. First, data in sensor networks...
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
While zoomable user interfaces can improve the usability of applications by easing data access, a drawback is that some users tend to become lost after they have zoomed in. Previo...
This paper introduces AORTA, a software architecture that provides object-level coordination and shared workspace awareness support to synchronous and distributed collaborative app...
