Domain adaptation is a fundamental learning problem where one wishes to use labeled data from one or several source domains to learn a hypothesis performing well on a different, y...
In this paper we examine a novel addition to the known methods for learning Bayesian networks from data that improves the quality of the learned networks. Our approach explicitly ...
We describe a novel semi-supervised method called WordCodebook Learning (WCL), and apply it to the task of bionamed entity recognition (bioNER). Typical bioNER systems can be seen...
The Functions of Multiple Instances (FUMI) method for learning a target prototype from data points that are functions of target and non-target prototypes is introduced. In this pa...
In many application domains there is a large amount of unlabeled data but only a very limited amount of labeled training data. One general approach that has been explored for util...
