Log-linear parsing models are often trained by optimizing likelihood, but we would prefer to optimise for a task-specific metric like Fmeasure. Softmax-margin is a convex objecti...
Parametric yield loss due to variability can be effectively reduced by both design-time optimization strategies and by adjusting circuit parameters to the realizations of variable...

Large-margin structured estimation methods minimize a convex upper bound of loss functions. While they allow for efficient optimization algorithms, these convex formulations are n...

Often when modeling structured domains, it is desirable to leverage information that is not naturally expressed as simply a label. Examples include knowledge about the evaluation ...
