This paper describes a statistically motivated framework for performing real-time dialogue state updates and policy learning in a spoken dialogue system. The framework is based on...
It is considered good distributed computing practice to devise object implementations that tolerate contention, periods of asynchrony and a large number of failures, but perform f...
We start by describing all the varieties of loops Q that can be defined by autotopisms x, x Q, where x is a composition of two triples, each of which becomes an autotopism when th...
At-speed functional testing, delay testing, and n-detection test sets are being used today to detect deep submicrometer defects. However, the resulting test data volumes are too hi...
The persistent programming systems of the 1980s offered a programming model that integrated computation and long-term storage. In these systems, reliable applications could be eng...
