An Effective Approach to Verbose Queries Using a Limited Dependencies Language Model
Intuitively, any `bag of words' approach in IR should benefit from taking term dependencies into account. Unfortunately, for years the results of exploiting such dependencies ...

Scalable Probabilistic Databases with Factor Graphs and MCMC
Incorporating probabilities into the semantics of incomplete databases has posed many challenges, forcing systems to sacrifice modeling power, scalability, or treatment of relatio...

On Probabilistic Parallel Programs with Process Creation and Synchronisation
We initiate the study of probabilistic parallel programs with dynamic process creation and synchronisation. To this end, we introduce probabilistic split-join systems (pSJSs), a mo...

Spoken language interaction with model uncertainty: an adaptive human-robot interaction system
Spoken language is one of the most intuitive forms of interaction between humans and agents. Unfortunately, agents that interact with people using natural language often experienc...

Probabilistic author-topic models for information discovery
We propose a new unsupervised learning technique for extracting information from large text collections. We model documents as if they were generated by a two-stage stochastic pro...
