Hierarchies are an intuitive and effective organization paradigm for data. Of late there has been considerable research on automatically learning hierarchical organizations of dat...
We present a fully probabilistic stick-figure model that uses a nonparametric Bayesian distribution over trees for its structure prior. Sticks are represented by nodes in a tree i...

—Lack of supervision in clustering algorithms often leads to clusters that are not useful or interesting to human reviewers. We investigate if supervision can be automatically tr...
The Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model (HHMM) is a well formalized tool suitable to model complex patterns in long temporal or spatial sequences. Even if effective algorithms are ava...
We connect two scenarios in structured learning: adapting a parser trained on one corpus to another annotation style, and projecting syntactic annotations from one language to ano...
