Abstract. Evaluation is one of the hardest tasks in automatic text summarization. It is perhaps even harder to determine how much a particular component of a summarization system c...
The classical (ad hoc) document retrieval problem has been traditionally approached through ranking according to heuristically developed functions (such as tf.idf or bm25) or gene...
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for multi-task learning with boosted decision trees. We learn several different learning tasks with a joint model, explicitly addressing...

Abstract. Active learning refers to the task of devising a ranking function that, given a classifier trained from relatively few training examples, ranks a set of additional unlabe...
Most learning algorithms for undirected graphical models require complete inference over at least one instance before parameter updates can be made. SampleRank is a rankbased lear...
