Abstract The active learning model is motivated by scenarios in which it is easy to amass vast quantities of unlabeled data (images and videos off the web, speech signals from microphone recordings, and so on)[…]
Abstract Recent advances in deformable models have lead to new classes of methods that borrow the best features form level sets as well as traditional parametric deformable models. In the first part of the course[…]
Abstract Although many contemporary dream researchers suggest that dreaming is functionally significant, some argue that dreams are epiphenomenal to neurophysiological activity during REM sleep. This presentation will begin by examining methodological issues in dream research[…]
Abstract The lack of labeled data is one of the key problems in many current natural language processing tasks. Semi-supervised and unsupervised learning techniques have been explored as alternatives to fully-supervised learning; however, most techniques[…]
Abstract Locked-in syndrome can result from traumatic brain injury, such as a brain-stem stroke, or from neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease). The condition is characterized by near total[…]
Abstract Computational Linguistics is again becoming an exciting field for linguists because it is moving from information retrieval to understanding and reasoning. This requires the integration of syntax and semantics. Natural Logic is a cover[…]
Abstract People do not retrieve all of the words they will use in an utterance before beginning to speak. At the same time, they do not appear to blurt out each word as it is[…]
