This paper describes a text chunking system based on a generalization of the Winnow algorithm. We propose a general statistical model for text chunking which we then convert into ...
Many machine learning methods have recently been applied to natural language processing tasks. Among them, the Winnow algorithm has been argued to be particularly suitable for NLP...
Online multiplicative weight-update learning algorithms, such as Winnow, have proven to behave remarkably for learning simple disjunctions with few relevant attributes. The aim of ...
The problem of learning linear discriminant concepts can be solved by various mistake-driven update procedures, including the Winnow family of algorithms and the well-known Percep...
Spam filtering is a text categorization task that has attracted significant attention due to the increasingly huge amounts of junk email on the Internet. While current best-pract...
