Abstract: Existing algorithms for estimating the model parameters of an explicit-duration hidden Markov model (HMM) usually require computations as large as O((MD/sup 2/ + M/sup 2/)T) or O(M/sup 2/ DT ...

The Precedence Diagram Method (PDM) is widely used for modeling large and complex construction projects characterized by non-linear execution logic, overlapping activities, and multiple precedence ...

While the world's leading artificial intelligence companies race to build ever-larger models, betting billions that scale alone will unlock artificial general intelligence, a researcher at one of the ...

Outdated coding practices and memory-unsafe languages like C are putting software, including cryptographic libraries, at risk. Fortunately, memory-safe languages like Rust, along with formal ...

Evolution is often depicted as a steady march toward increasingly better beings, but this common narrative overlooks the litany of evolutionary quirks throughout the plant and animal kingdoms. A new ...
