We extend the VC theory of statistical learning to data dependent spaces of classifiers. This theory can be viewed as a decomposition of classifier design into two components; the...

In this paper we study the problem of finding most topical named entities among all entities in a document, which we refer to as focused named entity recognition. We show that th...
In this paper, we present an AUC (i.e., the Area Under the Curve of Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC)) maximization based learning algorithm to design the classifier for ma...
Evaluating competing technologies on a common problem set is a powerful way to improve the state of the art and hasten technology transfer. Yet poorly designed evaluations can was...
