Fluctuations of work-in-progress (WIP) levels cause variability of cycle time and often lead to productivity losses in semiconductor wafer fabrication plants. To identify sources ...
Simulation models provide a powerful tool for the analysis of manufacturing systems, but their utility beyond the design stage of the system life cycle is hampered by the high cos...
—We describe the design of an autonomous agent that can teach itself how to translate from a foreign language, by first assembling its own training set, then using it to improve...
Long cycle times in semiconductor manufacuring represent an increasing challenge for the industry and lead to a growing need of break-through approaches to reduce it. Small lot si...
We present a novel paradigm for statistical machine translation (SMT), based on a joint modeling of word alignment and the topical aspects underlying bilingual document-pairs, via...
