Training conditional random fields via gradient tree boosting
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs; Lafferty, McCallum, & Pereira, 2001) provide a flexible and powerful model for learning to assign labels to elements of sequences in such appl...

Distributed estimation in wireless sensor networks via variational message passing
Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...

To FRAME or not to FRAME in Probabilistic Texture Modelling?
The maximum entropy principle is a cornerstone of FRAME (Filters, RAndom fields, and Maximum Entropy) model considered at times as a first-ever step towards a universal theory of ...

Statistical and Computational Tradeoffs in Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...

Powerful extensions to CRFS for grapheme to phoneme conversion
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) have proven to perform well on natural language processing tasks like name transliteration, concept tagging or grapheme-to-phoneme (g2p) conversio...
