Memory with memory: soft assignment in genetic programming
Based in part on observations about the incremental nature of most state changes in biological systems, we introduce the idea of Memory with Memory in Genetic Programming (GP), wh...

Generic soft pattern models for definitional question answering
This paper explores probabilistic lexico-syntactic pattern matching, also known as soft pattern matching. While previous methods in soft pattern matching are ad hoc in computing t...

Designing efficient cascaded classifiers: tradeoff between accuracy and cost
We propose a method to train a cascade of classifiers by simultaneously optimizing all its stages. The approach relies on the idea of optimizing soft cascades. In particular, inst...
