Hierarchical Incremental Class Learning (HICL) is a new task decomposition method that addresses the pattern classification problem. HICL is proven to be a good classifier but clos...
We introduce, analyze and demonstrate a recursive hierarchical generalization of the widely used hidden Markov models, which we name Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models (HHMM). Our m...
We propose a highly efficient framework for penalized likelihood kernel methods applied to multiclass models with a large, structured set of classes. As opposed to many previous a...
This paper shows that the accuracy of learned text classifiers can be improved by augmenting a small number of labeled training documents with a large pool of unlabeled documents. ...
