Feature detection with automatic scale selection

by Tony Lindeberg - International Journal of Computer Vision , 1998
"... The fact that objects in the world appear in different ways depending on the scale of observation has important implications if one aims at describing them. It shows that the notion of scale is of utmost importance when processing unknown measurement data by automatic methods. In their seminal works ..."

Automatic Acquisition of Hyponyms from Large Text Corpora

by Marti A. Hearst , 1992
"... We describe a method for the automatic acquisition of the hyponymy lexical relation from unrestricted text. Two goals motivate the approach: (i) avoidante of the need for pre-encoded knowledge and (ii) applicability across a wide range of text. We identify a set of lexico-syntactic patterns that are ..."

The information bottleneck method

by Naftali Tishby, Fernando C. Pereira, William Bialek , 1999
"... We define the relevant information in a signal x ∈ X as being the information that this signal provides about another signal y ∈ Y. Examples include the information that face images provide about the names of the people portrayed, or the information that speech sounds provide about the words spoken. ..."

Dynamic taint analysis for automatic detection, analysis, and signature generation of exploits on commodity software

by James Newsome, Dawn Song - In Network and Distributed Systems Security Symposium , 2005
"... Software vulnerabilities have had a devastating effect on the Internet. Worms such as CodeRed and Slammer can compromise hundreds of thousands of hosts within hours or even minutes, and cause millions of dollars of damage [32, 51]. To successfully combat these fast automatic Internet attacks, we nee ..."

Design and Synthesis of Synchronization Skeletons Using Branching Time Temporal Logic

by Edmund M. Clarke, E. Allen Emerson - In: Kozen, D., Ed., Logics of Programs , 1982
"... We propose a method of constructing concurrent programs in which the synchroni-zation skeleton of the program ~s automatically synthesized from a high-level (branching time) Temporal Logic specification. The synchronization skeleton is an abstraction of the actual program where detail irrelevant to ..."

A Simple Rule-Based Part of Speech Tagger

by Eric Brill , 1992
"... Automatic part of speech tagging is an area of natural language processing where statistical techniques have been more successful than rule- based methods. In this paper, we present a sim- ple rule-based part of speech tagger which automatically acquires its rules and tags with accuracy coinparable ..."

Indexing by latent semantic analysis

by Scott Deerwester, Susan T. Dumais, George W. Furnas, Thomas K. Landauer, Richard Harshman - JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE , 1990
"... A new method for automatic indexing and retrieval is described. The approach is to take advantage of implicit higher-order structure in the association of terms with documents (“semantic structure”) in order to improve the detection of relevant documents on the basis of terms found in queries. The p ..."

Learning realistic human actions from movies

by Ivan Laptev, Marcin Marszałek, Cordelia Schmid, Benjamin Rozenfeld - IN: CVPR. , 2008
"... The aim of this paper is to address recognition of natural human actions in diverse and realistic video settings. This challenging but important subject has mostly been ignored in the past due to several problems one of which is the lack of realistic and annotated video datasets. Our first contribut ..."
Abstract - Cited by 738 (48 self) - Add to MetaCart
contribution is to address this limitation and to investigate the use of movie scripts for automatic annotation of human actions in videos. We evaluate alternative methods for action retrieval from scripts and show benefits of a text-based classifier. Using the retrieved action samples for visual learning, we

A Maximum Entropy approach to Natural Language Processing

by Adam L. Berger, Stephen A. Della Pietra , Vincent J. Della Pietra - COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1996
"... The concept of maximum entropy can be traced back along multiple threads to Biblical times. Only recently, however, have computers become powerful enough to permit the widescale application of this concept to real world problems in statistical estimation and pattern recognition. In this paper we des ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1366 (5 self) - Add to MetaCart
describe a method for statistical modeling based on maximum entropy. We present a maximum-likelihood approach for automatically constructing maximum entropy models and describe how to implement this approach efficiently, using as examples several problems in natural language processing.
