This chapter presents an approach for texture and object recognition that uses scale- or affine-invariant local image features in combination with a discriminative classifier. Text...
Abstract. Bias variance decomposition for classifiers is a useful tool in understanding classifier behavior. Unfortunately, the literature does not provide consistent guidelines on...
We describe work on automatically assigning labels to books using user-defined tags as the label set. Using supervised learning and exploring both binary and multiclass classifica...
We present recent work in the area of Cross-Domain Dialogue Act (DA) tagging. We have previously reported on the use of a simple dialogue act classifier based on purely intra-utte...
We present an approach to pronoun resolution based on syntactic paths. Through a simple bootstrapping procedure, we learn the likelihood of coreference between a pronoun and a can...
