In this paper, we present IdentiFinder^TM, a hidden Markov model that learns to recognize and classify names, dates, times, and numerical quantities. We have evaluated the model in English (based on data from the Sixth and Seventh Message Understanding Conferences [MUC-6, MUC-7] and broadcast news

(retained if the transaction aborts) values. Most (hardware) TM systems leave old values “in place” (the target memory address) and buffer new values elsewhere until commit. This makes aborts fast, but penalizes (the much more frequent) commits. In this paper, we present a new implementation

. This paper presents Soot, a framework for optimizing Java TM bytecode. The framework is implemented in Java and supports three intermediate representations for representing Java bytecode: Baf, a streamlined representation of Java's stack-based bytecode; Jimple, a typed three

A virtual human presenter is created based on extensions to the Jack TM animated agent system. Inputs to the presenter system are in the form of speech texts with embedded commands, most of which relate to the virtual presenter's body language. The system then makes him act as a presenter

into this class. We also present a concrete declarative TM language, RT 1 , based on constraint Datalog, and use constraint Datalog to analyze another TM system, KeyNote, which turns out to be less expressive than RT 1 in significant respects, yet less tractable in the worst case. Although constraint

We describe DSTM2, a Java TM software library that provides a flexible framework for implementing object-based software transactional memory (STM). The library uses transactional factories to transform sequential (unsynchronized) classes into atomic (transactionally synchronized) ones, providing a

The InfiniteReality TM graphics system is the first general-purpose workstation system specifically designed to deliver 60Hz steady frame rate high-quality rendering of complex scenes. This paper describes the InfiniteReality system architecture and presents novel features designed to handle

” algorithm which allows to use a dyadic wavelet to merge nondyadic data in a simple and efficient scheme. We used the method to merge SPOT and LANDSAT (TM) images. The technique presented is clearly better than the IHS and LHS mergers in preserving both spectral and spatial information. I.

We present blue-c, a new immersive projection and 3D video acquisition environment for virtual design and collaboration. It combines simultaneous acquisition of multiple live video streams with advanced 3D projection technology in a CAVE^TM-like environment, creating the impression of total

an approach, based on an extension of the CryptolopeTM approach [Gladney and Lotspiech 1997], which essentially allows one to send the same document to all users, and yet to enforce the stated access control policies. Our approach consists of encrypting different portions of the same document according
