In real sequence labeling tasks, statistics of many higher order features are not sufficient due to the training data sparseness, very few of them are useful. We describe Sparse H...
We present a new and efficient semi-supervised training method for parameter estimation and feature selection in conditional random fields (CRFs). In real-world applications suc...
Abstract. A major challenge in pervasive computing is to learn activity patterns, such as bathing and cleaning from sensor data. Typical sensor deployments generate sparse datasets...
We consider the problem of labeling a partially labeled graph. This setting may arise in a number of situations from survey sampling to information retrieval to pattern recognition...
Abstract We present an active learning framework that predicts the tradeoff between the effort and information gain associated with a candidate image annotation, thereby ranking un...
