Practical implementations of computational theories of speech and language Making computer speech synthesis as natural, flexible, and efficient as human speech.

I am currently the chair of CATCS . Please check it out - we welcome any suggestions. I was the PC chair of SODA, 2024 . The accepted papers are here. An alternative talk schedule format is here. A ...

Moreover, FP generalizes IP by treating commands as forms of data that may be executed for their effects. Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired a mastery of basic functional ...

Linkage are composed of links and lower pairs. The simplest closed-loop linkage is the four-bar linkage, which has three moving links, one fixed link and four pin joints. A linkage with one link fixed ...

Thread operations include thread creation, termination, synchronization (joins,blocking), scheduling, data management and process interaction. A thread does not maintain a list of created threads, nor ...

The cassette deck market has changed quite a bit in the last few years. Single well decks are becoming rare and 3-head decks are now almost non-existent. The other thing is that most of the decks ...

There are many basic data structures that can be used to solve application problems. Array is a good static data structure that can be accessed randomly and is fairly easy to implement. Linked Lists ...

We introduce the heat method for solving the single- or multiple-source shortest path problem on both flat and curved domains. A key insight is that distance computation can be split into two stages: ...

`I couldn't help it,' said Five, in a sulky tone; `Seven jogged my elbow.' On which Seven looked up and said, `That's right, Five! Always lay the blame on others!' `You'd better not talk!' said Five.

I'm a professor in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon. I am also affiliated with the Robotics Institute. I'm interested in multi-agent planning, reinforcement learning, ...

Remember one thing, we are not running a business, we are running a government. We are in direct control of people's lives. -- L. Ron Hubbard, Policy letter of 5 August 1959 By the mid-1960s, ...

We introduce a stochastic graph-based method for computing relative importance of textual units for Natural Language Processing. We test the technique on the problem of Text Summarization (TS).
