We discuss some basic techniques for modeling dependence between the random variables that are inputs to a simulation model, with the main emphasis being continuous bivariate dist...
Parallel web pages are important source of training data for statistical machine translation. In this paper, we present a new approach to sentence alignment on parallel web pages....
This paper describes a clustering algorithm for vector quantizers using a "stochastic association model". It offers a new simple and powerful softmax adaptation rule. Th...
A major challenge faced by a spoken term detection (STD) system is the detection of out-of-vocabulary (OOV) terms. Although a subword-based STD system is able to detect OOV terms,...
