Learning a sequence classifier means learning to predict a sequence of output tags based on a set of input data items. For example, recognizing that a handwritten word is "ca...
This paper shows that the performance of a binary classifier can be significantly improved by the processing of structured unlabeled data, i.e. data are structured if knowing the ...
Active learning has been proven a reliable strategy to reduce manual efforts in training data labeling. Such strategies incorporate the user as oracle: the classifier selects the m...
While several hierarchical classification methods have been applied to web content, such techniques invariably rely on a pre-defined taxonomy of documents. We propose a new techni...
