Abstract. We investigate the application of classification techniques to the problem of information extraction (IE). In particular we use support vector machines and several differ...
Abstract. Trained support vector machines (SVMs) have a slow runtime classification speed if the classification problem is noisy and the sample data set is large. Approximating the...
It is well known that prior knowledge or bias can speed up learning, at least in theory. It has proved di cult to make constructive use of prior knowledge, so that approximately c...
The application of statistical methods to natural language processing has been remarkably successful over the past two decades. But, to deal with recent problems arising in this ï¬...
