The authors have developed a performance test, CPTOP (Cognitive Performance Test of Productivity), which combines 11 basic task testss to evaluate intelligent abilities of office w...
We present a novel method for inducing synchronous context free grammars (SCFGs) from a corpus of parallel string pairs. SCFGs can model equivalence between strings in terms of su...
An efficient policy search algorithm should estimate the local gradient of the objective function, with respect to the policy parameters, from as few trials as possible. Whereas m...
In previous work on "transformed mixtures of Gaussians" and "transformed hidden Markov models", we showed how the EM algorithm in a discrete latent variable mo...
This work provides a generalization of the traditional response surface methodology (RSM) that can be applied to complex, multi-objective simulation studies. These problems involv...
