Many applications involve multiple-modalities such as text and images that describe the problem of interest. In order to leverage the information present in all the modalities, on...
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...
We present a class of web queries whose result is a multi-column relation instead of a collection of unstructured documents as in standard web search. The user specifies the query...
In this paper we explore the use of parsimonious language models for web retrieval. These models are smaller thus more efficient than the standard language models and are therefor...
We describe a method for applying parsimonious language models to re-estimate the term probabilities assigned by relevance models. We apply our method to six topic sets from test ...
