Recent approaches to learning structured predictors often require approximate inference for tractability; yet its effects on the learned model are unclear. Meanwhile, most learnin...
We describe an efficient technique to weigh word-based features in binary classification tasks and show that it significantly improves classification accuracy on a range of proble...
