In this paper, we provide a study on the use of tree kernels to encode syntactic parsing information in natural language learning. In particular, we propose a new convolution kerne...
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
In the classic multi-armed bandits problem, the goal is to have a policy for dynamically operating arms that each yield stochastic rewards with unknown means. The key metric of int...
We propose a new method to compute bid prices in network revenue management problems. The novel aspect of our method is that it naturally provides dynamic bid prices that depend o...
It is well known that parsing accuracies drop significantly on out-of-domain data. What is less known is that some parsers suffer more from domain shifts than others. We show that...
