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...

Abstract – In this paper, a variational message passing framework is proposed for Markov random fields. Analogous to the traditional belief propagation algorithm, variational mes...
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 ...

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...
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...
