A Sequential Algorithm for Training Text Classifiers

by David D. Lewis, William A. Gale , 1994
"... The ability to cheaply train text classifiers is critical to their use in information retrieval, content analysis, natural language processing, and other tasks involving data which is partly or fully textual. An algorithm for sequential sampling during machine learning of statistical classifiers was ..."

was developed and tested on a newswire text categorization task. This method, which we call uncertainty sampling, reduced by as much as 500-fold the amount of training data that would have to be manually classified to achieve a given level of effectiveness. 1 Introduction Text classification is the automated

The synchronous dataflow programming language LUSTRE

by N. Halbwachs, P. Caspi, P. Raymond, D. Pilaud - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1991
"... This paper describes the language Lustre, which is a dataflow synchronous language, designed for programming reactive systems --- such as automatic control and monitoring systems --- as well as for describing hardware. The dataflow aspect of Lustre makes it very close to usual description tools in t ..."

in these domains (block-diagrams, networks of operators, dynamical samples-systems, etc: : : ), and its synchronous interpretation makes it well suited for handling time in programs. Moreover, this synchronous interpretation allows it to be compiled into an efficient sequential program. Finally, the Lustre

A solution to the simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem

by M. W. M. Gamini Dissanayake, Paul Newman, Steven Clark, Hugh F. Durrant-whyte, M. Csorba - IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation , 2001
"... Abstract—The simultaneous localization and map building (SLAM) problem asks if it is possible for an autonomous vehicle to start in an unknown location in an unknown environment and then to incrementally build a map of this environment while simultaneously using this map to compute absolute vehicle ..."

map with zero uncertainty is then developed. It is then shown that the absolute accuracy of the map and the vehicle location reach a lower bound defined only by the initial vehicle uncertainty. Together, these results show that it is possible for an autonomous vehicle to start in an unknown location

Ontologies: Principles, methods and applications

by Mike Uschold, Michael Gruninger - KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING REVIEW , 1996
"... This paper is intended to serve as a comprehensive introduction to the emerging field concerned with the design and use of ontologies. We observe that disparate backgrounds, languages, tools, and techniques are a major barrier to effective communication among people, organisations, and/or software s ..."

Determining the Epipolar Geometry and its Uncertainty: A Review

by Zhengyou Zhang, T. Kanade - International Journal of Computer Vision , 1998
"... Two images of a single scene/object are related by the epipolar geometry, which can be described by a 3×3 singular matrix called the essential matrix if images' internal parameters are known, or the fundamental matrix otherwise. It captures all geometric information contained in two i ..."

Hierarchical Modelling and Analysis for Spatial Data. Chapman and Hall/CRC,

by S Banerjee , B P Carlin , A E Gelfand , Chapman , / Hall , New Crc , N York; Cressie , P J Diggle , P J Ribeiro Jr , B D Ripley , 2004
"... Abstract Often, there are two streams in statistical research -one developed by practitioners and other by main stream statisticians. Development of geostatistics is a very good example where pioneering work under realistic assumptions came from mining engineers whereas it is only now that statisti ..."

The subject with statistical emphasis has been evolving, as seen by various excellent books from statistical sides (Banerjee, S., Introduction It is well known that the maximum likelihood (ML) method is a powerful statistical tool in estimation

The synchronous approach to reactive and real-time systems

by Albert Benveniste, Gerard Berry - Proceedings of the IEEE , 1991
"... This special issue is devoted to the synchronous approach to reactive and real-time programming. This introductory paper presents and discusses the application fields and the principles of synchronous programming. The major concern of the synchronous approach is to base synchronous programming langu ..."

This makes it possible to handle compilation, logical correctness proofs, and verifications of real-time programs in a formal way, leading to a clean and precise methodology for design and programming. 1.

Real-time simultaneous localisation and mapping with a single camera

by Andrew J. Davison , 2003
"... Ego-motion estimation for an agile single camera moving through general, unknown scenes becomes a much more challenging problem when real-time performance is required rather than under the off-line processing conditions under which most successful structure from motion work has been achieved. This t ..."

Real-time handling of uncertainty permits robust localisation via the creating and active measurement of a sparse map of landmarks such that regions can

Parsing English with a Link Grammar

by Daniel D. Sleator, Davy Temperley , 1991
"... We define a new formal grammatical system called a link grammar . A sequence of words is in the language of a link grammar if there is a way to draw links between words in such a way that (1) the local requirements of each word are satisfied, (2) the links do not cross, and (3) the words form a conn ..."

The formalism is lexical and makes no explicit use of constituents and categories. The breadth of English phenomena that our system handles

The Lumière Project: Bayesian User Modeling for Inferring the Goals and Needs of Software Users

by Eric Horvitz, Jack Breese, David Heckerman, David Hovel, Koos Rommelse - In Proceedings of the Fourteenth Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence , 1998
"... The Lumi`ere Project centers on harnessing probability and utility to provide assistance to computer software users. We review work on Bayesian user models that can be employed to infer a user's needs by considering a user's background, actions, and queries. Several problems were tackled i ..."
