This article discusses Open Mind Word Expert (OMWE), a system that aims to tap people's ability to disambiguate words and to give computers the benefit of people's knowledge.

Data management plan for the grant, "CAREER: Reinventing Network-on-Chips of GPU-Accelerated Systems." Research seeking to reinvent on-chip networks for GPU-accelerated systems to remove a communication bottleneck. A major outcome of the project is a set of techniques that enable the development of effective and efficient network-on-chip architectures. Graphics processing units (GPUs) have rapidly evolved to become high-performance accelerators for data-parallel computing. To fully take advantage of the computing power of GPUs, on-chip networks need to provide timely data movement to satisfy the requests of data by the processing cores. Currently, there exists a big gap between the fast-growing processing power of the GPU processing cores and the slow-increasing on-chip network bandwidth. Because of this, GPU-accelerated systems are interconnect-dominated and the on-chip network becomes their performance bottleneck.

This paper describes a dialogue system framework for a companionable robot, which aims to guide patients towards health behavior changes via natural language analysis and generation.

This paper presents the task definition, resources, participating systems, and comparative results for the shared task on word alignment which was organized as part of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 2005 Workshop on Building and Using Parallel Texts. The shared task included English-Inuktitut, Romanian-English, and English-Hindi sub-tasks, and drew the participation of ten teams from around the world with a total of 50 systems.

This paper discusses enhancing the undergraduate research experience in a senior design context.

Thesis submitted to the National Experimental University of Guayana as partial requirement for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science. This thesis discusses simulation models at different scales of tropical forest dynamics.
