An Improved Predictive Accuracy Bound for Averaging Classifiers
We present an improved bound on the difference between training and test errors for voting classifiers. This improved averaging bound provides a theoretical justification for popu...

Conditional Random Fields: Probabilistic Models for Segmenting and Labeling Sequence Data
We present conditional random fields, a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hid...

Learning to Select Good Title Words: An New Approach based on Reverse Information Retrieval
In this paper, we show how we can learn to select good words for a document title. We view the problem of selecting good title words for a document as a variant of an Information ...

Expectation Maximization for Weakly Labeled Data
We call data weakly labeled if it has no exact label but rather a numerical indication of correctness of the label "guessed" by the learning algorithm - a situation comm...

Bayesian approaches to failure prediction for disk drives
Hard disk drive failures are rare but are often costly. The ability to predict failures is important to consumers, drive manufacturers, and computer system manufacturers alike. In...
