Unsupervised learning methods often involve summarizing the data using a small number of parameters. In certain domains, only a small subset of the available data is relevant for ...
We study model selection strategies based on penalized empirical loss minimization. We point out a tight relationship between error estimation and data-based complexity penalizatio...
The purpose of this paper is three-fold. First, we formalize and study a problem of learning probabilistic concepts in the recently proposed KWIK framework. We give details of an ...
We investigate maximum likelihood parameter learning in Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and present an empirical study of pseudo-likelihood (PL) based approximations of the paramet...
We present the application of the process workshop method to define revised work processes in software development companies. Through two empirical action research studies, we stud...
