Recent developments in statistical modeling of various linguistic phenomena have shown that additional features give consistent performance improvements. Quite often, improvements...
We present algorithms for recognizing human motion in monocular video sequences, based on discriminative Conditional Random Field (CRF) and Maximum Entropy Markov Models (MEMM). E...

We propose a semantic passage segmentation method for a Question Answering (QA) system. We define a semantic passage as sentences grouped by semantic coherence, determined by the...
In this paper we describe a method of acquiring word order fl'om corpora. Word order is defined as the order of modifiers, or the order of phrasal milts called 'bunsetsu...
In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to design an optimal non-uniform scalar quantizer for distributed video coding, which aims at achieving a coding rate close to joint co...
