In this paper we present an automated method for classifying astronomical objects in multispectral wide-field images. The method is divided into three main tasks. The first one co...
This paper proposes a method that speeds up a classifier trained with many conjunctive features: combinations of (primitive) features. The key idea is to precompute as partial res...
One important problem in machine learning is how to extract knowledge from prior experience, then transfer and apply this knowledge in new learning tasks. To address this problem, ...
Complex tasks like question answering need to be able to identify events in text and the relations among those events. We show that this event identification task and a related ta...
