Abstract. Active learning algorithms attempt to accelerate the learning process by requesting labels for the most informative items first. In real-world problems, however, there ma...
Abstract. Faded examples have been investigated in pedagogical psychology. The experiments suggest that a learner can benefit from faded examples. For these experiments a few exam...
The growing availability of online text has lead to an increase in the use of automatic knowledge acquisition approaches from textual data, as in Information Extraction (IE). Some ...
We present a new and efficient semi-supervised training method for parameter estimation and feature selection in conditional random fields (CRFs). In real-world applications suc...
Active learning has been proven a reliable strategy to reduce manual efforts in training data labeling. Such strategies incorporate the user as oracle: the classifier selects the m...
