We demonstrate the effectiveness of multilingual learning for unsupervised part-of-speech tagging. The key hypothesis of multilingual learning is that by combining cues from multi...

Confidence-weighted (CW) learning [6], an online learning method for linear classifiers, maintains a Gaussian distributions over weight vectors, with a covariance matrix that repr...
Two studies report upon the effect of asking learners to answer questions when learning in a hypertext environment, even when no immediate feedback is given to learners about the a...
The notion of embedding a class of dichotomies in a class of linear half spaces is central to the support vector machines paradigm. We examine the question of determining the mini...
This paper shows how to formally characterize language learning in a finite parameter space as a Markov structure, hnportant new language learning results follow directly: explici...
