Training a good text detector requires a large amount of labeled data, which can be very expensive to obtain. Cotraining has been shown to be a powerful semi-supervised learning t...
Arti cial neural networks are computer software or hardware models inspired by the structure and behavior of neurons in the human nervous system. As a powerful learning tool, incr...
Time on task is an important predictor for how much students learn. However, students must be focused on their learning for the time invested to be productive. Unfortunately, stude...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Abstract. Motivated by the analogies to statistical physics, the deterministic annealing (DA) method has successfully been demonstrated in a variety of application. In this paper, ...
