We present a novel learning framework for pipeline models aimed at improving the communication between consecutive stages in a pipeline. Our method exploits the confidence scores ...
A new algorithm for training Restricted Boltzmann Machines is introduced. The algorithm, named Persistent Contrastive Divergence, is different from the standard Contrastive Diverg...
Scientific literature with rich metadata can be represented as a labeled directed graph. This graph representation enables a number of scientific tasks such as ad hoc retrieval o...
Machine learning is often used to automatically solve human tasks. In this paper, we look for tasks where machine learning algorithms are not as good as humans with the hope of ga...
Statistical machine learning methods are employed to train a Named Entity Recognizer from annotated data. Methods like Maximum Entropy and Conditional Random Fields make use of fe...
