We investigate the use of Fisher's exact significance test for pruning the translation table of a hierarchical phrase-based statistical machine translation system. In additio...
We propose a novel statistical method for motion detection and background maintenance for a mobile observer. Our method is based on global motion estimation and statistical backgro...
In this paper, we offer broad insight into the underperformance of Arabic constituency parsing by analyzing the interplay of linguistic phenomena, annotation choices, and model de...
We describe a novel inference algorithm for sparse Bayesian PCA with a zero-norm prior on the model parameters. Bayesian inference is very challenging in probabilistic models of t...
In this paper, invariant sonar texture characterization for seabed classification is addressed from the spatial distribution of image keypoints using log-Gaussian Cox processes. ...
