We describe a new scalable algorithm for semi-supervised training of conditional random fields (CRF) and its application to partof-speech (POS) tagging. The algorithm uses a simil...
Active learning methods have been considered with an increased interest in the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) community. Those methods used to be based on classical classifi...
We generalize the Winnow algorithm for learning disjunctions to learning subspaces of low rank. Subspaces are represented by symmetric projection matrices. The online algorithm ma...
Understanding high-dimensional real world data usually requires learning the structure of the data space. The structure maycontain high-dimensional clusters that are related in co...
Individual learning capabilities can vary from gifted to exceptionally slow; some students may take longer to understand a concept and may not be able to achieve the expected stan...
