Discriminative learning techniques for sequential data have proven to be more effective than generative models for named entity recognition, information extraction, and other task...
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an important subtask of document processing such as Information Extraction. This paper describes a NER algorithm which uses a Multi-Layer Percept...
Intelligent agents must be able to handle the complexity and uncertainty of the real world. Logical AI has focused mainly on the former, and statistical AI on the latter. Markov l...

The output weight optimization-hidden weight optimization (OWO-HWO) algorithm for training the multilayer perceptron alternately updates the output weights and the hidden weights....
We propose a general method for reranker construction which targets choosing the candidate with the least expected loss, rather than the most probable candidate. Different approac...
