This paper describes the results of some experiments exploring statistical methods to infer syntactic categories from a raw corpus in an unsupervised fashion. It shares certain po...
We introduce a new model for learning in the presence of noise, which we call the Nasty Noise model. This model generalizes previously considered models of learning with noise. Th...
Multi-instance learning deals with problems that treat bags of instances as training examples. In single-instance learning problems, dimensionality reduction is an essential step ...
