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

Location extraction from disaster-related microblogs
TL;DR: This work investigates the feasibility of applying Named Entity Recognizers to extract locations from microblogs, at the level of both geo-location and point-of-interest, and shows that such tools once retrained on microblog data have great potential to detect the where information, even at the granularity of point- of-interest.

Bi-LSTM-CRF Sequence Labeling for Keyphrase Extraction from Scholarly Documents
TL;DR: This paper addresses the keyphrase extraction problem as sequence labeling and proposes a model that jointly exploits the complementary strengths of Conditional Random Fields that capture label dependencies through a transition parameter matrix consisting of the transition probabilities from one label to the neighboring label.

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.
