Many approaches to learning classifiers for structured objects (e.g., shapes) use generative models in a Bayesian framework. However, state-of-the-art classifiers for vectorial d...
We propose a hybrid generative/discriminative framework for semantic parsing which combines the hidden vector state (HVS) model and the hidden Markov support vector machines (HMSV...
Discriminative learning techniques for sequential data have proven to be more effective than generative models for named entity recognition, information extraction, and other task...
This paper presents a novel method for reducing the dimensionality of kernel spaces. Recently, to maintain the convexity of training, loglinear models without mixtures have been u...
Based on Information Theory, optimal feature selection should be carried out by searching Markov blankets. In this paper, we formally analyze the current Markov blanket discovery ...
