One may need to build a statistical parser for a new language, using only a very small labeled treebank together with raw text. We argue that bootstrapping a parser is most promis...
Abstract. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) has been widely used to measure ranking performance for binary classification tasks. AUC only employs the classifier’s scores to ra...
Background estimation and removal based on the joint use of range and color data produces superior results than can be achieved with either data source alone. This is increasingly...

Abstract. We explore a new definition of creativity -- one which emphasizes the statistical capacity of a system to generate previously unseen patterns -- and discuss motivations f...
Recent work has exploited boundedness of data in the unsupervised learning of new types of generative model. For nonnegative data it was recently shown that the maximum-entropy ge...
