We address the issue of classifying complex data. We focus on three main sources of complexity, namely, the high dimensionality of the observed data, the dependencies between these...
We investigate maximum likelihood parameter learning in Conditional Random Fields (CRF) and present an empirical study of pseudo-likelihood (PL) based approximations of the paramet...
Abstract. Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) provide a powerful instrument for labeling sequences. So far, however, CRFs have only been considered for labeling sequences over flat al...
The paper describes a lexicon driven approach for word recognition on handwritten documents using Conditional Random Fields(CRFs). CRFs are discriminative models and do not make a...

We have recently proposed an EM-style algorithm to optimize log-linear models with hidden variables. In this paper, we use this algorithm to optimize a hidden conditional random ï...
