Survey of the State of the Art in Human Language Technology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a glossary for language analysis and understanding in the context of spoken language input and output technologies, and evaluate their work with a set of annotated corpora.
Book ChapterDOI
Learning Dynamic Bayesian Networks
TL;DR: This paper presents a probabilistic framework for learning models of temporal data using the Bayesian network formalism, a marriage of probability theory and graph theory in which dependencies between variables are expressed graphically.

Predictive Representations of State
TL;DR: This is the first specific formulation of the predictive idea that includes both stochasticity and actions (controls) and it is shown that any system has a linear predictive state representation with number of predictions no greater than the number of states in its minimal POMDP model.

The power of amnesia: learning probabilistic automata with variable memory length
TL;DR: It is proved that the algorithm presented can efficiently learn distributions generated by PSAs, and it is shown that for any target PSA, the KL-divergence between the distributiongenerated by the target and the distribution generated by the hypothesis the learning algorithm outputs, can be made small with high confidence in polynomial time and sample complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculating posterior distributions and modal estimates in Markov mixture models
TL;DR: A new, full Bayesian approach based on the method of Gibbs sampling is developed, and it is shown that the latent variables, one for each observation, can be simulated from their joint distribution given the data and the remaining parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a polynomial with nonnegative coefficients homogeneous of degree d in its variables is shown to be polynomially homogeneous unless 3(3(x))>P(x), where 3(x)=x.

The Gamma Function
Willi Freeden,Martin Gutting +1 more
TL;DR: The Gamma function as discussed by the authors is a generalized factorial function that can be used to estimate the probability distribution of a probability distribution, and it has been used in many applications, e.g., as part of probability distributions.
