Graph-based semi-supervised learning has recently emerged as a promising approach to data-sparse learning problems in natural language processing. All graph-based algorithms rely ...
Abstract— This paper presents i-AA1 , a constructive, incremental learning algorithm for a special class of weightless, self-organizing networks. In i-AA1 , learning consists of ...
Collaborative Filtering (CF) requires user-rated training examples for statistical inference about the preferences of new users. Active learning strategies identify the most infor...
This paper presents an algorithm for inferring a Structured Hidden Markov Model (S-HMM) from a set of sequences. The S-HMMs are a sub-class of the Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model...
