Recent work in supervised learning has shown that a surprisingly simple Bayesian classifier with strong assumptions of independence among features, called naive Bayes, is competit...
This work presents the use of click graphs in improving query intent classifiers, which are critical if vertical search and general-purpose search services are to be offered in a ...
Bootstrapping is the process of improving the performance of a trained classifier by iteratively adding data that is labeled by the classifier itself to the training set, and retr...
This paper addresses the problem of classification in situations where the data distribution is not homogeneous: Data instances might come from different locations or times, and t...
Lack of labeled training examples is a common problem for many applications. In the same time, there is usually an abundance of labeled data from related tasks. But they have diff...
