Despite being closely related languages, German and English are characterized by important word order differences. Longrange reordering of verbs, in particular, represents a real challenge for state-of-theart SMT systems and is one of the main reasons why translation quality is often so poor in this language pair. In this work, we review several solutions to improve the accuracy of German-Engli...

Conventional work on scienti c discovery such as BACON derives empirical law equations from experimental data. In recent years, SDS introducing mathematical admissibility constraints has been proposed to discover rst principle based law equations, and it has been further extended to discover law equations from passively observed data. Furthermore, SSF has been proposed to discover the structure...

Abstract A set of planar graphs share a simultaneous embedding if they can be drawn on the same vertex set V of n vertices in the plane without crossings between edges of the same graph. Fixed edges are common edges between graphs that share the same Jordan curve in the simultaneous drawing. We give a necessary condition for when pairs of graphs can have a simultaneous embedding with fixed edge...

In this paper, a method of obtaining vehicle hypothesis based on laser scan data only is proposed. This is implemented on the robotic vehicle, CyCab, for navigation and mapping of the static car park environment. Laser scanner data is used to obtain hypothesis on position and orientation of vehicles with Bayesian Programming. Using the hypothesized vehicle poses as landmarks, CyCab performs Sim...

In this paper, we introduce and study geometric simultaneous RAC drawing problems, i.e., a combination of problems on geometric RAC drawings and geometric simultaneous graph drawings. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time where such a combination is attempted.

We derive a closed form expression for the asymptotic distribution of the LIML estimator for the coefficients of both endogenous and exogenous variables in a partially identified linear structural equation. We extend previous results of Phillips (1989) and Choi and Phillips (1992) where the focus was on IV estimators. We show that partial failure of identification affects the LIML in that its m...

Stochastic mapping is an approach to the concurrent mapping and localization (CML) problem. The approach is powerful because feature and robot states are explicitly correlated. Improving the estimate of any state automatically improves the estimates of correlated states. This paper describes a number of extensions to the stochastic mapping framework, which are made possible by the incorporation...

Activity patterns of neural population are constrained by underlying biological mechanisms. These patterns are characterized not only by individual activity rates and pairwise correlations but also by statistical dependencies among groups of neurons larger than two, known as higher-order interactions (HOIs). While HOIs are ubiquitous in neural activity, primary characteristics of HOIs remain un...

Probabilistic robotics, most often applied to the problem of simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), requires measures of uncertainty to accompany observations of the environment. This paper describes how uncertainty can be characterised for a vision system that locates coloured landmarks in a typical laboratory environment. The paper describes a model of the uncertainty in segmentation, ...
