Learning Discriminative Sequence Models from Partially Labelled Data for Activity Recognition
We propose a new approach based on partially-supervised training of discriminative sequence models such as the conditional random field (CRF) and the maximum entropy Markov model (MEMM).

Opioidergic Projections to Sleep-Active Neurons in the Ventrolateral Preoptic Nucleus
We hypothesized that the influence of opiates on sleep may be mediated, at least in part, by the ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO), a key cell group for producing behavioral sleep.

How Interdisciplinary Is a Given Body of Research?
This article presents results to date produced by a team charged with evaluating the National Academies Keck Futures Initiative, a 15-year US$ 40 million program to facilitate interdisciplinary research in…

Efficient data selection for machine translation
In this paper, we introduce two methods for efficient selection of training data to be translated by humans. Our methods are motivated by active learning and aim to choose new…

The optimal throughput order of wireless ad hoc networks and how to achieve it
In this paper, we study the contribution of network coding (NC) in improving the multicast capacity of random wireless ad hoc networks when nodes are endowed with multi-packet transmission (MPT)…

A general framework for the capacity analysis of wireless ad hoc networks
In this paper, we introduce a general framework for computing the throughput capacity of wireless ad-hoc networks under all kinds of information dissemination modalities.
