We present Minimum Bayes-Risk (MBR) decoding for statistical machine translation. This statistical approach aims to minimize expected loss of translation errors under loss functio...
We propose optimal routing algorithms for Chord [1], a popular topology for routing in peer-to-peer networks. Chord is an undirected graph on 2b nodes arranged in a circle, with e...
A limiting factor in the performance of a rendering system is the number of state changes, i.e., changes of the attributes material, texture, shader program, etc., in the stream o...
Why are sensory modalities segregated the way they are? In this paper we show that sensory modalities are well designed for self-supervised cross-modal learning. Using the Minimiz...
Abstract Given a collection of individual preferences defined on a same finite set of candidates, we consider the problem of aggregating them into a collective preference minimizin...
