Chinese input is one of the key challenges for Chinese PC users. This paper proposes a statistical approach to Pinyin-based Chinese input. This approach uses a trigram-based langu...
We propose a distribution-based pruning of n-gram backoff language models. Instead of the conventional approach of pruning n-grams that are infrequent in training data, we prune n...
In this paper we model relational random variables on the edges of a network using Gaussian processes (GPs). We describe appropriate GP priors, i.e., covariance functions, for dir...
Tool environments supporting the development of complex products need to be open and flexible. These requirements cannot be fulfilled in an adequate way by predefined coordinat...
We investigate factorizations of regular languages in terms of prime languages. A language is said to be strongly prime decomposable if any way of factorizing the language yields a...
