Abstract. Automatic pattern classifiers that allow for on-line incremental learning can adapt internal class models efficiently in response to new information without retraining fr...
Semi-supervised learning has emerged as a popular framework for improving modeling accuracy while controlling labeling cost. Based on an extension of stochastic composite likeliho...

This paper explores the use of the homotopy method for training a semi-supervised Hidden Markov Model (HMM) used for sequence labeling. We provide a novel polynomial-time algorith...
Many learning algorithms rely on the curvature (in particular, strong convexity) of regularized objective functions to provide good theoretical performance guarantees. In practice...
Dual supervision refers to the general setting of learning from both labeled examples as well as labeled features. Labeled features are naturally available in tasks such as text c...
