Base Noun Phrase Translation Using Web Data and the EM Algorithm
We consider here the problem of Base Noun Phrase translation. We propose a new method to perform the task. For a given Base NP, we first search its translation candidates from the...

An EM approach to multiple-access interference mitigation in asynchronous slow FHSS systems
In this paper, we apply the EM algorithm for mitigation of multi-access interference (MAI) in asynchronous slow frequency-hop spread spectrum (FHSS) systems that employ binary freq...
