Recent developments in statistical modeling of various linguistic phenomena have shown that additional features give consistent performance improvements. Quite often, improvements...
Modern classification applications necessitate supplementing the few available labeled examples with unlabeled examples to improve classification performance. We present a new tra...
This paper presents a discriminative alignment model for extracting abbreviations and their full forms appearing in actual text. The task of abbreviation recognition is formalized...
We introduce a new perceptron-based discriminative learning algorithm for labeling structured data such as sequences, trees, and graphs. Since it is fully kernelized and uses poin...
Appropriate feature selection is a very crucial issue in any machine learning framework, specially in Maximum Entropy (ME). In this paper, the selection of appropriate features for...
