Robustness has become a popular issue in engineering. For products, Taguchi suggests to adjust the design so that product performance is insensitive to the effects of uncontrolled...
In this paper we describe a method for Minimum Bayes Risk decoding for speech recognition. This is a technique similar to Consensus a.k.a. Confusion Network Decoding, in which we ...
In classical two-stage stochastic programming the expected value of the total costs is minimized. Recently, mean-risk models - studied in mathematical finance for several decades -...
— This paper presents an investment strategy to reduce the risk associated with failures in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. The investment strategy deter...
Probabilistic AI planning methods that minimize expected execution cost have a neutral attitude towards risk. We demonstrate how one can transform planning problems for risk-sensi...
