Abstract. Many applications of machine learning involve sparse highdimensional data, where the number of input features is (much) larger than the number of data samples, d n. Predi...
Weintroduce a significant improvementfor a relatively newmachine learning methodcalled Transformation-Based Learning. By applying a MonteCarlo strategy to randomly sample from the...
This paper shows how to formally characterize language learning in a finite parameter space as a Markov structure, hnportant new language learning results follow directly: explici...
We present a random-walk-based approach to learning paraphrases from bilingual parallel corpora. The corpora are represented as a graph in which a node corresponds to a phrase, an...
We present a method for the simultaneous detection and segmentation of objects from static images. We employ lowlevel contour features that enable us to learn the coarse object sh...
