Gaussian graphical models are of great interest in statistical learning. Because the conditional independencies between different nodes correspond to zero entries in the inverse c...
We explore the near-synonym lexical choice problem using a novel representation of near-synonyms and their contexts in the latent semantic space. In contrast to traditional latent...
In many real world applications, labeled data are usually expensive to get, while there may be a large amount of unlabeled data. To reduce the labeling cost, active learning attem...

Markov random fields (MRFs) are popular and generic probabilistic models of prior knowledge in low-level vision. Yet their generative properties are rarely examined, while applica...
This paper describes a framework for defining domain specific Feature Functions in a user friendly form to be used in a Maximum Entropy Markov Model (MEMM) for the Named Entity Re...
