We present a method for improving word alignment for statistical syntax-based machine translation that employs a syntactically informed alignment model closer to the translation m...
We analyze the structure and evolution of discussion cascades in four popular websites: Slashdot, Barrapunto, Meneame and Wikipedia. Despite the big heterogeneities between these ...
Standard pattern recognition provides effective and noise-tolerant tools for machine learning tasks; however, most approaches only deal with real vectors of a finite and fixed dime...
Motivated by the poor performance (linear complexity) of the EM algorithm in clustering large data sets, and inspired by the successful accelerated versions of related algorithms l...
We consider Gaussian multiresolution (MR) models in which coarser, hidden variables serve to capture statistical dependencies among the finest scale variables. Tree-structured MR ...
