On the Symmetric Gaussian Multiple Description Rate-Distortion Function
We consider symmetric multiple description coding for the Gaussian source, and provide upper and lower bounds for the individual description rate-distortion function. One of the m...

Regret Bounds for Hierarchical Classification with Linear-Threshold Functions
We study the problem of classifying data in a given taxonomy when classifications associated with multiple and/or partial paths are allowed. We introduce an incremental algorithm u...

Boolean Functions for Finite-Tree Dependencies
Several logic-based languages, such as Prolog II and its successors, SICStus Prolog and Oz, offer a computation domain including rational trees. Infinite rational trees allow fo...

Minimum Risk Annealing for Training Log-Linear Models
When training the parameters for a natural language system, one would prefer to minimize 1-best loss (error) on an evaluation set. Since the error surface for many natural languag...
