A growing mount of available text data are being stored in relational databases, giving rise to an increasing need for the RDBMSs to support effective text retrieval. In this pape...
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs; Lafferty, McCallum, & Pereira, 2001) provide a flexible and powerful model for learning to assign labels to elements of sequences in such appl...

Kernel conditional random fields (KCRFs) are introduced as a framework for discriminative modeling of graph-structured data. A representer theorem for conditional graphical models...
When search is against structured documents, it is beneficial to extract information from user queries in a format that is consistent with the backend data structure. As one step...
This paper explores the use of the homotopy method for training a semi-supervised Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for sequence labeling. We provide a novel polynomial-time algorith...
