We proposed a subword-based tagging for Chinese word segmentation to improve the existing character-based tagging. The subword-based tagging was implemented using the maximum entr...
We introduce novel discriminative learning algorithms for dynamical systems. Models such as Conditional Random Fields or Maximum Entropy Markov Models outperform the generative Hi...
