In this paper, we propose a stochastic version of a general purpose functional programming language as a method of modeling stochastic processes. The language contains random choi...
The problem of Named Entity Generation is expressed as a conditional probability model over a structured domain. By defining a factor-graph model over the mentions of a text, we o...
This article proposes a generative image model, which is called ‘‘primal sketch,’’ following Marr’s insight and terminology. This model combines two prominent classes of...
The sequential parameter optimization (spot) package for R (R Development Core Team, 2008) is a toolbox for tuning and understanding simulation and optimization algorithms. Model-...
Content-only retrieval of XML documents deals with the problem of locating the smallest XML elements that satisfy the query. In this paper, we investigate the application of a spec...
