Question Asking to Inform Preference Learning: a Case Study
This paper presents a case study that explores how to instantiate a question asking framework to select questions for a particular type of learner used within learning by demonstration systems,…

Activities of Mixed NOP and μ-Opioid Receptor Ligands
Abstract Background and purpose: Compounds that activate both NOP and μ-opioid receptors might be useful as analgesics and drug abuse medications. Studies were carried out to better understand the biological…

The KBMS Project and Beyond
In this paper, we review the key ideas introduced in the KBMS project, and connect them to some of the work since the conclusion of the project that is either…

Anytime Lifted Belief Propagation
We present an algorithm, Anytime Lifted Belief Propagation, that corresponds to this intuition by performing shattering during belief propagation inference, on an as-needed basis, starting on the most relevant parts…

Bottom-Up/Top-Down Image Parsing with Attribute Grammar
We present a simple attribute graph grammar as a generative representation for made-made scenes and studies an effective top-down/bottom-up inference algorithm for parsing images in the process of maximizing a…

Classification and Selective Collection of Individual Aerosol Particles Using Laser-Induced Fluorescence
We describe the development and performance evaluation of a system for optical interrogation, subsequent selection, and collection of individual aerosol particles entrained in an inlet air stream.

WikiWalk: Random walks on Wikipedia for semantic relatedness
This paper evaluates methods for building the graph, including link selection strategies, and two methods for representing input texts as distributions over the graph nodes: one based on a dictionary…

Morphology of Graphene on Sic (000 1-) Surfaces
Graphene is formed on SiC(000-1) surfaces (the so-called C-face of the crystal) by annealing in vacuum, with the resulting films characterized by atomic force microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning Auger…

NASA LaRC Airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar Aerosol Measurements During MILAGRO: Observations and Validation
This paper presents high spatial and vertical resolution HSRL measurements of aerosol extinction and optical depth from MILAGRO and comparisons of those measurements with similar measurements from other sensors and…

Prediction and Discovery of Users’ Desktop Behavior
We show that efficient many-class learning can perform well for action prediction in the Unix domain, significantly improving over previously published results.
