Existing clustering methods can be roughly classified into two categories: generative and discriminative approaches. Generative clustering aims to explain the data and thus is ad...
This paper treats nominal entity tagging as a six-way (five categories plus nonentity) classification problem and applies a smoothing maximum entropy (ME) model with a Gaussian pr...
Since speaker's intentions can be represented into domain actions (pairs of domain-independent speech acts and domain-dependent concept sequences) in goal-oriented dialogues,...
Music information retrieval is characterized by a number of various user information needs. Systems are being developed that allow searchers to find melodies, rhythms, genres, an...
We describe a new tagging model where the states of a hidden Markov model (HMM) estimated by unsupervised learning are incorporated as the features in a maximum entropy model. Our...
