Quantifying contextual contributions to word-recognition processes.

The experiment reported here used the gating paradigm (Grosjean, 1980) to investigate the following issues: To test the validity of the claims made by the "cohort" theory (MarslenWilaon & Tyler, 1980; Marslen-Wilson & Welsh, 1978) for the interaction of sensory and contextual constraints during the process of recognizing spoken words, and to determine the relative contribution of two kinds of c...

Contextual Markov Decision Processes

We consider a planning problem where the dynamics and rewards of the environment depend on a hidden static parameter referred to as the context. The objective is to learn a strategy that maximizes the accumulated reward across all contexts. The new model, called Contextual Markov Decision Process (CMDP), can model a customer’s behavior when interacting with a website (the learner). The customer...

Contextual Merged Processes

We integrate two compact data structures for representing state spaces of Petri nets: merged processes and contextual prefixes. The resulting data structure, called contextual merged processes (CMP), combines the advantages of the original ones and copes with several important sources of state space explosion: concurrency, sequences of choices, and concurrent read accesses to shared resources. ...
