Occam’s razor is the principle that, given two hypotheses consistent with the observed data, the simpler one should be preferred. Many machine learning algorithms follow this pr...
Graphical models are well established in providing compact conditional probability descriptions of complex multivariable interactions. In the Gaussian case, graphical models are d...

The availability of a huge mass of textual data in electronic format has increased the need for fast and accurate techniques for textual data processing. Machine learning and stat...
Machine learning approaches are frequently used to solve name entity (NE) recognition (NER). In this paper we propose a hybrid method that uses maximum entropy (ME) as the underly...
