Self-Consistency: A Novel Approach to Characterizing the Accuracy and Reliability of Point Correspondence Algorithms
We propose a methodology that estimates the accuracy and reliability of the results of any multiple-image point correspondence algorithm, without the need for ground truth or camera calibration.

c-Type Cytochromes and Manganese Oxidation in Pseudomonas putida MnB1
We used transposon mutagenesis to construct mutants of strain MnB1 that are unable to oxidize manganese, and we characterized some of these mutants.

Lexical, Prosodic, and Syntactic Cues for Dialog Acts
This paper presents a preliminary investigation into the realization of a particular class of dialog acts which play an essential structuring role in dialog, the backchannels or acknowledgements tokens. We discuss the lexical, prosodic, and syntactic realization of these and subsumed or related dialog acts like continuers, assessments, yes answers, agreements, and incipient-speakership.

Crosslinguistic Disfluency Modeling: A Comparative Analysis of Swedish and American English Human-Human and Human-Machine Dialogues
We report results from a cross-language study of disfluencies (DFs) in Swedish and American English human-machine and human-human dialogs. We focus on differences suggestive of how speakers utilize DFs in the different languages.

Modeling Dynamic Prosodic Variation for Speaker Verification
In this work, we take a first step toward capturing suprasegmental patterns for automatic speaker verification. Prosody modeling improves the verification performance of a cepstrum-based Gaussian mixture model system (as measured by a task-specific Bayes risk) by 10%.

Controlling Communication in Distributed Planning Using Irrelevance Reasoning
This paper describes an approach to controlling information distribution among planning agents using irrelevance reasoning. We describe an implementation of this approach within a distributed version of the SIPE-2 planner.
