Abstract. We apply a machine learning method to the occupation coding, which is a task to categorize the answers to open-ended questions regarding the respondent’s occupation. Sp...
Both genetic algorithms (GAs) and temporal difference (TD) methods have proven effective at solving reinforcement learning (RL) problems. However, since few rigorous empirical com...
This paper presents a method for learning a distance metric from relative comparison such as “A is closer to B than A is to C”. Taking a Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach,...
Many important application areas of text classifiers demand high precision and it is common to compare prospective solutions to the performance of Naive Bayes. This baseline is us...
In this paper, we survey the current state-ofart models for structured learning problems, including Hidden Markov Model (HMM), Conditional Random Fields (CRF), Averaged Perceptron...
