Generating Referring Expressions in Open Domains
We present an algorithm for generating referring expressions in open domains. Existing algorithms work at the semantic level and assume the availability of a classification for at...

Learning Partially Observable Action Schemas
We present an algorithm that derives actions' effects and preconditions in partially observable, relational domains. Our algorithm has two unique features: an expressive rela...

Deep Dependencies from Context-Free Statistical Parsers: Correcting the Surface Dependency Approximation
We present a linguistically-motivated algorithm for reconstructing nonlocal dependency in broad-coverage context-free parse trees derived from treebanks. We use an algorithm based...

A Fast Decision Tree Learning Algorithm
There is growing interest in scaling up the widely-used decision-tree learning algorithms to very large data sets. Although numerous diverse techniques have been proposed, a fast ...

Targeting Specific Distributions of Trajectories in MDPs
We define TTD-MDPs, a novel class of Markov decision processes where the traditional goal of an agent is changed from finding an optimal trajectory through a state space to realiz...

Computing Locally Coherent Discourses
We present the first algorithm that computes optimal orderings of sentences into a locally coherent discourse. The algorithm runs very efficiently on a variety of coherence measur...

Quantifying the Impact of Learning Algorithm Parameter Tuning
The impact of learning algorithm optimization by means of parameter tuning is studied. To do this, two quality attributes, sensitivity and classification performance, are investig...

When a Decision Tree Learner Has Plenty of Time
The majority of the existing algorithms for learning decision trees are greedy--a tree is induced top-down, making locally optimal decisions at each node. In most cases, however, ...

DNNF-based Belief State Estimation
As embedded systems grow increasingly complex, there is a pressing need for diagnosing and monitoring capabilities that estimate the system state robustly. This paper is based on ...
