We study the mixing time of the Glauber dynamics for general spin systems on bounded-degree trees, including the Ising model, the hard-core model (independent sets) and the antife...
We propose to improve speech recognition performance on speaker-independent, mixed language speech by asymmetric acoustic modeling. Mixed language is either inter-sentential code ...
This paper describes our experience in developing a software system for use in the environmental modeling community. The primary user of this software is intended to be a scientis...
Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
It is now common to encounter communities engaged in the collaborative analysis and transformation of large quantities of data over extended time periods. We argue that these comm...
