Unsupervised Model Adaptation using Information-Theoretic Criterion
In this paper we propose a novel general framework for unsupervised model adaptation. Our method is based on entropy which has been used previously as a regularizer in semi-superv...

Softmax-Margin CRFs: Training Log-Linear Models with Cost Functions
We describe a method of incorporating taskspecific cost functions into standard conditional log-likelihood (CLL) training of linear structured prediction models. Recently introduc...

Setting Up User Action Probabilities in User Simulations for Dialog System Development
User simulations are shown to be useful in spoken dialog system development. Since most current user simulations deploy probability models to mimic human user behaviors, how to se...

Asynchronous Binarization for Synchronous Grammars
Binarization of n-ary rules is critical for the efficiency of syntactic machine translation decoding. Because the target side of a rule will generally reorder the source side, it ...
