Softmax-Margin CRFs: Training Log-Linear Models with Cost Functions
We describe a method of incorporating taskspecific cost functions into standard conditional log-likelihood (CLL) training of linear structured prediction models. Recently introduc...

Investigations into the Crandem Approach to Word Recognition
We suggest improvements to a previously proposed framework for integrating Conditional Random Fields and Hidden Markov Models, dubbed a Crandem system (2009). The previous authors...

Cheap, Fast and Good Enough: Automatic Speech Recognition with Non-Expert Transcription
Deploying an automatic speech recognition system with reasonable performance requires expensive and time-consuming in-domain transcription. Previous work demonstrated that non-pro...

Multi-document Summarization via Budgeted Maximization of Submodular Functions
We treat the text summarization problem as maximizing a submodular function under a budget constraint. We show, both theoretically and empirically, a modified greedy algorithm can...

Optimal Parsing Strategies for Linear Context-Free Rewriting Systems
Factorization is the operation of transforming a production in a Linear Context-Free Rewriting System (LCFRS) into two simpler productions by factoring out a subset of the nonterm...
