The problem of ranking, in which the goal is to learn a real-valued ranking function that induces a ranking or ordering over an instance space, has recently gained attention in mac...
We discuss a simple sparse linear problem that is hard to learn with any algorithm that uses a linear combination of the training instances as its weight vector. The hardness holds...
In this paper we present the use of a "general purpose" textual entaiment recognizer in the Answer Validation Exercise (AVE) task. Our system has been developed to learn...
This paper is about the use of metric data structures in high-dimensionalor non-Euclidean space to permit cached sufficientstatisticsaccelerationsof learning algorithms. It has re...
Because of the importance of proteinprotein interaction (PPI) extraction from text, many corpora have been proposed with slightly differing definitions of proteins and PPI. Since ...
