Abstract. Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) provide a powerful instrument for labeling sequences. So far, however, CRFs have only been considered for labeling sequences over flat al...
In solving complex visual learning tasks, adopting multiple descriptors to more precisely characterize the data has been a feasible way for improving performance. These representa...
In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to query segmentation, an important task in Web search. We use a generative query model to recover a query's underlyin...
In the past, NLP has always been based on the explicit or implicit use of linguistic knowledge. In classical computer linguistic applications explicit rule based approaches prevai...
