We analyze collective discourse, a collective human behavior in content generation, and show that it exhibits diversity, a property of general collective systems. Using extensive ...
Background: This paper introduces the notion of optimizing different norms in the dual problem of support vector machines with multiple kernels. The selection of norms yields diff...
We present baseline results for the joint segmentation and classification of dialog acts (DAs) of the ICSI Meeting Corpus. Two simple approaches based on word information are inve...

Heuristic search effectiveness depends directly upon the quality of heuristic evaluations of states in the search space. We show why ordinal correlation is relevant to heuristic se...
Bayesian Network structures with a maximum in-degree of k can be approximated with respect to a positive scoring metric up to an factor of 1/k. Key words: approximation algorithm,...
