Parents and children in families living with regular separation due to work develop strategies to manage being apart. We interviewed 14 pairs of parents and children (ages 7 - 13) from work-separated families to understand their experiences and the strategies that they use to keep their family together. Parents focus on combining scheduled synchronous and spontaneous asynchronous communication to maintain a constant presence in the life of the child. Children, on the other hand, focus on other sources of support, on other activities, and on the eventual reunion. Boththe remote parent and the child rely heavily on a collocated adult to maintain awareness and contact. We compare work-separated families with other types of separation and highlight opportunities for new designs. Copyright 2011 ACM.

the increasing popularity of personal reading devices raises the question of how best to support so-called active reading, which involves acts like annotation, note taking, etc. Prior research addressed this question by observing the active reading process, and identifying disparities between computers and paper as a reading medium. We extend this research by 1) investigating the problems that readers experience in their real world tasks, 2) inquiring about their requirements for an ideal reading technology, and 3) updating earlier studies of naturalistic reading behavior, which are several years old now. We present here the results of our investigation, which included a diary study, interviews, and participatory design workshops. Copyright 2011 ACM.

the goal of statistical language modeling is to find probability estimates for arbitrary word sequences. To obtain non-zero values, the probability distributions found in the training data need to be smoothed. In the widely-used Kneser-Ney family of smoothing algorithms, this is achieved by absolute discounting. the discount parameters can be computed directly using some approximation formulas minimizing the leaving-one-out log-likelihood of the training data. In this work, we outline several shortcomings of the standard estimators for the discount parameters. We propose an efficient method for computingthe discount values on held-out data and analyze the resulting parameter estimates. Experiments on large English and French corpora show consistent improvements in perplexity and word error rate over the baseline method. At the same time, this approach can be used for language model pruning, leading to slightly better results than standard pruning algorithms.

In this paper, we consider optimization problems in networks operating with proportional differentiated admission control. First, we obtain the minimal reachable loss rate value for this mechanism. Next, we give another interpretation of admission control and consider the losses minimization problem for this alternate. We then introduce some revenue optimization problem and present the optimal solution. Copyright 2011 ACM.

Classical recommender systems provide users with a list of recommendations where each recommendation consists of a single item, e. g., a book or a DVD. However, applications such as travel planning can benefit from a system capable of recommending packages of items, under a user-specified budget and in the form of sets or sequences. In this context, there is a need for a system that can recommend top-k packages for the user to choose from. In this paper, we propose a novel system, CompRec-Trip, which can automatically generate composite recommendations for travel planning. the system leverages rating information from underlying recommender systems, allows flexible package configuration and incorporates users' cost budgets on both time and money. Furthermore, the proposed CompRec-Trip system has a rich graphical user interface which allows users to customize the returned composite recommendations and take into account external local information.
