Learning Field Compatibilities to Extract Database Records from Unstructured Text
Named-entity recognition systems extract entities such as people, organizations, and locations from unstructured text. Rather than extract these mentions in isolation, this paper ...

Annealing Techniques For Unsupervised Statistical Language Learning
Exploiting unannotated natural language data is hard largely because unsupervised parameter estimation is hard. We describe deterministic annealing (Rose et al., 1990) as an appea...

Tracking value function dynamics to improve reinforcement learning with piecewise linear function approximation
Reinforcement learning algorithms can become unstable when combined with linear function approximation. Algorithms that minimize the mean-square Bellman error are guaranteed to co...

Unsupervised Multilingual Learning for POS Tagging
We demonstrate the effectiveness of multilingual learning for unsupervised part-of-speech tagging. The key hypothesis of multilingual learning is that by combining cues from multi...
