We show that the automatically induced latent variable grammars of Petrov et al. (2006) vary widely in their underlying representations, depending on their EM initialization point...
Epidemics-inspired techniques have received huge attention in recent years from the distributed systems and networking communities. These algorithms and protocols rely on probabili...
Interface personalization can improve a user’s performance and subjective impression of interface quality and responsiveness. Personalization is difficult to implement as it req...
We propose an unsupervised inference procedure for audio source separation. Components in nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) are grouped automatically in audio sources via a p...
This paper discusses the interpretation of nominalizations in domain independent wide-coverage text. We present a statistical model which interprets nominalizations based on the c...
