TLDR
This work presents iterative parameter estimation algorithms for conditional random fields and compares the performance of the resulting models to HMMs and MEMMs on synthetic and natural-language data.Abstract:
We present conditional random fields , a framework for building probabilistic models to segment and label sequence data. Conditional random fields offer several advantages over hidden Markov models and stochastic grammars for such tasks, including the ability to relax strong independence assumptions made in those models. Conditional random fields also avoid a fundamental limitation of maximum entropy Markov models (MEMMs) and other discriminative Markov models based on directed graphical models, which can be biased towards states with few successor states. We present iterative parameter estimation algorithms for conditional random fields and compare the performance of the resulting models to HMMs and MEMMs on synthetic and natural-language data.read more

The benefits of specific risk-factor disclosures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established a new measure (Specificity) to quantify the level of specificity of firms' qualitative risk-factor disclosures, and found that firms with high proprietary costs provide less specific risk factor disclosures.

Who will follow you back?: reciprocal relationship prediction
TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence of the existence of the structural balance among reciprocal relationships and proposes a learning framework to formulate the problem of reciprocal relationship prediction into a graphical model that incorporates social theories into a machine learning model.

Auto-Context Convolutional Neural Network (Auto-Net) for Brain Extraction in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
TL;DR: This paper presents a technique based on an auto-context convolutional neural network (CNN), in which intrinsic local and global image features are learned through 2-D patches of different window sizes, and evaluates the performance of the algorithm in the challenging problem of extracting arbitrarily oriented fetal brains in reconstructed fetal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data sets.

Graph-based text classification: learn from your neighbors
Ralitsa Angelova,Gerhard Weikum +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a new method for graph-based classification, with particular emphasis on hyperlinked text documents but broader applicability, based on iterative relaxation labeling and can be combined with either Bayesian or SVM classifiers on the feature spaces of the given data items.

A Decision-Theoretic Generalization of On-Line Learning and an Application to Boosting
Yoav Freund,Robert E. Schapire +1 more
TL;DR: The model studied can be interpreted as a broad, abstract extension of the well-studied on-line prediction model to a general decision-theoretic setting, and it is shown that the multiplicative weight-update Littlestone?Warmuth rule can be adapted to this model, yielding bounds that are slightly weaker in some cases, but applicable to a considerably more general class of learning problems.
