In this work we study some probabilistic models for the random generation of words over a given alphabet used in the literature in connection with pattern statistics. Our goal is t...
We develop hierarchical, probabilistic models for objects, the parts composing them, and the visual scenes surrounding them. Our approach couples topic models originally developed...

Spoken language is one of the most intuitive forms of interaction between humans and agents. Unfortunately, agents that interact with people using natural language often experienc...
During face-to-face interactions, listeners use backchannel feedback such as head nods as a signal to the speaker that the communication is working and that they should continue sp...

For centuries, scholars have explored the deep links among human languages. In this paper, we present a class of probabilistic models that use these links as a form of naturally o...
This paper is part of a project to match descriptions of real-world instances and probabilistic models, both of which can be described at mulvel of abstraction and detail. We use ...
Most probabilistic classi ers used for word-sense disambiguationhave either been based on onlyone contextual feature or have used a model that is simply assumed to characterize th...
A serious problem in learning probabilistic models is the presence of hidden variables. These variables are not observed, yet interact with several of the observed variables. As s...

Probabilistic models have recently been utilized for the optimization of large combinatorial search problems. However, complex probabilistic models that attempt to capture interpa...
