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

`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 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 ...

David Touretzky is a computational neuroscientist who became curious about "the tech" after reading alt.religion.scientology. David Carter is an electronics technician and former Scientologist who had ...

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 ...

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice. `Who are you?' said the ...

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: ...

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).
