Markov logic networks (MLNs) combine logic and probability by attaching weights to first-order clauses, and viewing these as templates for features of Markov networks. Learning ML...
There are well known algorithms for learning the structure of directed and undirected graphical models from data, but nearly all assume that the data consists of a single i.i.d. s...
Conditional random fields (CRFs) are graphical models for modeling the probability of labels given the observations. They have traditionally been trained with using a set of obser...

In multiple instance learning (MIL), how the instances determine the bag-labels is an essential issue, both algorithmically and intrinsically. In this paper, we show that the mech...
This paper presents a novel approach for using clickthrough data to learn ranked retrieval functions for web search results. We observe that users searching the web often perform ...
