Classification-Based Strategies for Combining Multiple 5-W Question Answering Systems
We describe and analyze inference strategies for combining outputs from multiple question answering systems each of which was developed independently.

Multifactor Adaptation for Mandarin Broadcast News and Conversation Speech Recognition
We explore the integration of multiple factors such as genre and speaker gender for acoustic model adaptation tasks to improve Mandarin ASR system performance on broadcast news and broadcast conversation…

Within-Session Variability Modelling for Factor Analysis Speaker Verification
This work presents an extended Joint Factor Analysis model including explicit modelling of unwanted within-session variability.

Deductive Formation of Recursive Workflows
We present an action theory with the power to represent recursive plans and the capability to reason about and synthesize recursive workflow control structures.
-
Action Exemplar Based Real-Time Action Detection
We propose a real-time action detection system based on a novel action representation and an effective learning method with a small training set. We represent actions with a new feature…

Frontostriatal Fiber Bundle Compromise in HIV Infection Without Dementia
Quantitative fiber tracking derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to determine whether white matter association, projection, or commissural tracts are affected in nondemented individuals with HIV infection and to identify…

From 3D space to third place: the social life of small virtual spaces
Through our virtual ethnography of dance clubs and corner bars in three MMO environments, we find four features of virtual public spaces that appear critical for their success: accessibility, social…
