We address the issue of incorporating domain-specific preferences in planning systems, where a preference may be seen as a "soft" constraint that it is desirable, but no...
We introduce factored language models (FLMs) and generalized parallel backoff (GPB). An FLM represents words as bundles of features (e.g., morphological classes, stems, data-drive...
Recent experimental work has suggested that the neural firing rate can be interpreted as a fractional derivative, at least when signal variation induces neural adaptation. Here, ...
Common measures of term importance in information retrieval (IR) rely on counts of term frequency; rare terms receive higher weight in document ranking than common terms receive. ...
Communication between humans deeply relies on the capability of expressing and recognizing feelings. For this reason, research on human-machine interaction needs to focus on the re...
