This paper addresses the problem of correcting spelling errors that result in valid, though unintended words (such as peace and piece, or quiet and quite) and also the problem of ...
This paper introduces a tree generating system called Lexicalized Context-Free Grammar (LCFG) and describes a cubic-time parser for it. LCFG embeds the elegance of the analyses fo...
Image intensity variations can result from several different object surface effects, including shading from 3-dimensional relief of the object, or paint on the surface itself. An ...
This paper presents a method for generating compact and effective constructive-solid-geometry (CSG) object representations from 2D bitmap representations. The method consists of t...

We seek the scene interpretation that best explains image data. For example, we may want to infer the projected velocities (scene) which best explain two consecutive image frames ...
This paper presents a coding mode decision algorithm for MPEG-2 spatial transcoding. The optimization for coding mode and quantization scale are formulated in an operational rate ...
Group elevator scheduling is an NP-hard sequential decision-making problem with unbounded state spaces and substantial uncertainty. Decision-theoretic reasoning plays a surprising...
Removing commercials from television programs is a much sought-after feature for a personal video recorder. In this paper, we employ an unsupervised clustering scheme (CM Detect) ...
