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

Deep Learning for Chinese Word Segmentation and POS Tagging
TL;DR: This study explores the feasibility of performing Chinese word segmentation and POS tagging by deep learning, and describes a perceptron-style algorithm for training the neural networks, as an alternative to maximum-likelihood method to speed up the training process and make the learning algorithm easier to be implemented.

Generating Semantically Precise Scene Graphs from Textual Descriptions for Improved Image Retrieval
TL;DR: It is shown that scene graphs can be effectively created automatically from a natural language scene description and that using the output of the parsers is almost as effective as using human-constructed scene graphs.

Joint entity recognition and relation extraction as a multi-head selection problem
TL;DR: The proposed joint neural model outperforms the previous neural models that use automatically extracted features, while it performs within a reasonable margin of feature-based neural models, or even beats them.

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.
