Text Chunking based on a Generalization of Winnow
This paper describes a text chunking system based on a generalization of the Winnow algorithm. We propose a general statistical model for text chunking which we then convert into ...

Covering Number Bounds of Certain Regularized Linear Function Classes
Recently, sample complexity bounds have been derived for problems involving linear functions such as neural networks and support vector machines. In many of these theoretical stud...

On the Convergence of Optimistic Policy Iteration
We consider a finite-state Markov decision problem and establish the convergence of a special case of optimistic policy iteration that involves Monte Carlo estimation of Q-values,...

The Subspace Information Criterion for Infinite Dimensional Hypothesis Spaces
A central problem in learning is selection of an appropriate model. This is typically done by estimating the unknown generalization errors of a set of models to be selected from a...

Learning to Construct Fast Signal Processing Implementations
A single signal processing algorithm can be represented by many mathematically equivalent formulas. However, when these formulas are implemented in code and run on real machines, ...

Shallow Parsing using Noisy and Non-Stationary Training Material
Shallow parsers are usually assumed to be trained on noise-free material, drawn from the same distribution as the testing material. However, when either the training set is noisy ...
