Machine learning approaches are frequently used to solve name entity (NE) recognition (NER). In this paper we propose a hybrid method that uses maximum entropy (ME) as the underly...
We describe the TiVo television show collaborative recommendation system which has been fielded in over one million TiVo clients for four years. Over this install base, TiVo curre...
We devise a boosting approach to classification and regression based on column generation using a mixture of kernels. Traditional kernel methods construct models based on a single...
Many automated learning procedures lack interpretability, operating effectively as a black box: providing a prediction tool but no explanation of the underlying dynamics that driv...
In this paper we provide a fast, data-driven solution to the failing query problem: given a query that returns an empty answer, how can one relax the query's constraints so t...
