"Human computation" is a recent approach that extracts information from large numbers of Web users. reCAPTCHA is a human computation project that improves the process of...
This paper addresses the issue of query refinement, which involves reformulating ill-formed search queries in order to enhance relevance of search results. Query refinement typica...
Speed, cost and correctness may be the most important factors in designing a digital system. This paper proposes a novel and general methodology to synthesize iterative functions ...
This paper presents a parsing system for the detection of syntactic errors. It combines a robust partial parser which obtains the main sentence components and a finite-state parse...
In this paper we introduce a novel line detection algorithm based on a weighted minimum mean square error (MSE) formulation. This algorithm has been developed to enable an autonom...
