Conditional Random Fields (CRFs; Lafferty, McCallum, & Pereira, 2001) provide a flexible and powerful model for learning to assign labels to elements of sequences in such appl...

We present an algorithmic framework for supervised classification learning where the set of labels is organized in a predefined hierarchical structure. This structure is encoded b...
Traditional non-parametric statistical learning techniques are often computationally attractive, but lack the same generalization and model selection abilities as state-of-the-art...
This paper addresses the problem of finding a small and coherent subset of points in a given data. This problem, sometimes referred to as one-class or set covering, requires to fi...
Hill-climbing search is the most commonly used search algorithm in ILP systems because it permits the generation of theories in short running times. However, a well known drawback...
Many applications in text and speech processing require the analysis of distributions of variable-length sequences. We recently introduced a general kernel framework, rational ker...
We present a method for constructing ensembles from libraries of thousands of models. Model libraries are generated using different learning algorithms and parameter settings. For...

A fast-growing body of research in the AI and machine learning communities addresses learning in games, where there are multiple learners with different interests. This research a...
We propose to study links between three important classification algorithms: Perceptrons, Multi-Layer Perceptrons (MLPs) and Support Vector Machines (SVMs). We first study ways to...
