Answer patterns have been shown to improve the performance of open-domain factoid QA systems. Their use, however, requires either constructing the patterns manually or developing ...
We study the use of kernel subspace methods for learning low-dimensional representations for classification. We propose a kernel pooled local discriminant subspace method and com...
We present a document expansion approach that uses Conditional Random Field (CRF) segmentation to automatically extract salient phrases from ad titles. We then supplement the ad d...
