We investigate the utility of an algorithm for translation lexicon acquisition (SABLE), used previously on a very large corpus to acquire general translation lexicons, when that a...
The Transferable Belief Model is a powerful interpretation of belief function theory where decision making is based on the pignistic transform. Smets has proposed a generalization ...
We consider the problem of deriving class-size independent generalization bounds for some regularized discriminative multi-category classification methods. In particular, we obtai...
In this paper we introduce a general framework for defining the depth of a sequence with respect to a class of observers. We show that our general framework captures all depth not...
We introduce a general model of refinement. This is defined in terms of what contexts an entity can appear in, and what observations can be made of it in those contexts. We show e...
