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

FACTORIE: Probabilistic Programming via Imperatively Defined Factor Graphs
TL;DR: This work advocates using an imperative language to express various aspects of model structure, inference, and learning, and implements imperatively defined factor graphs in a system called FACTORIE, a software library for an object-oriented, strongly-typed, functional language.

Recursive Neural Conditional Random Fields for Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis
TL;DR: This paper proposed a joint model that integrates recursive neural networks and conditional random fields into a unified framework for explicit aspect and opinion terms co-extraction, which learns high-level discriminative features and double propagate information between aspects and opinions simultaneously.

Syntactic processing using the generalized perceptron and beam search
Yue Zhang,Stephen Clark +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the conceptual and computational simplicity of the framework, together with its language-independent nature, make it a competitive choice for a range of syntactic processing tasks and one that should be considered for comparison by developers of alternative approaches.

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.
