Semi-Supervised Learning Literature Survey

by Xiaojin Zhu , 2006
"... We review the literature on semi-supervised learning, which is an area in machine learning and more generally, artificial intelligence. There has been a whole spectrum of interesting ideas on how to learn from both labeled and unlabeled data, i.e. semi-supervised learning. This document is a chapter ..."

Unsupervised word sense disambiguation rivaling supervised methods

by David Yarowsky - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 33RD ANNUAL MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR COMPUTATIONAL LINGUISTICS , 1995
"... This paper presents an unsupervised learning algorithm for sense disambiguation that, when trained on unannotated English text, rivals the performance of supervised techniques that require time-consuming hand annotations. The algorithm is based on two powerful constraints -- that words tend to have ..."

Semi-Supervised Learning Using Gaussian Fields and Harmonic Functions

by Xiaojin Zhu , Zoubin Ghahramani, John Lafferty - IN ICML , 2003
"... An approach to semi-supervised learning is proposed that is based on a Gaussian random field model. Labeled and unlabeled data are represented as vertices in a weighted graph, with edge weights encoding the similarity between instances. The learning ..."

Approximate Statistical Tests for Comparing Supervised Classification Learning Algorithms

by Thomas G. Dietterich , 1998
"... This article reviews five approximate statistical tests for determining whether one learning algorithm outperforms another on a particular learning task. These tests are compared experimentally to determine their probability of incorrectly detecting a difference when no difference exists (type I err ..."

error). Two widely used statistical tests are shown to have high probability of type I error in certain situations and should never be used: a test for the difference of two proportions and a paired-differences t test based on taking several random train-test splits. A third test, a paired

Unsupervised Models for Named Entity Classification

by Michael Collins, Yoram Singer - In Proceedings of the Joint SIGDAT Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing and Very Large Corpora , 1999
"... This paper discusses the use of unlabeled examples for the problem of named entity classification. A large number of rules is needed for coverage of the domain, suggesting that a fairly large number of labeled examples should be required to train a classifier. However, we show that the use of unlabe ..."

A discriminatively trained, multiscale, deformable part model

by Pedro Felzenszwalb, David Mcallester, Deva Ramanan - In IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR-2008 , 2008
"... This paper describes a discriminatively trained, multiscale, deformable part model for object detection. Our system achieves a two-fold improvement in average precision over the best performance in the 2006 PASCAL person detection challenge. It also outperforms the best results in the 2007 challenge ..."

Object Detection with Discriminatively Trained Part Based Models

by Pedro F. Felzenszwalb, Ross B. Girshick, David McAllester, Deva Ramanan
"... We describe an object detection system based on mixtures of multiscale deformable part models. Our system is able to represent highly variable object classes and achieves state-of-the-art results in the PASCAL object detection challenges. While deformable part models have become quite popular, their ..."

Forward models: Supervised learning with a distal teacher

by Michael I. Jordan, David E. Rumelhart - Cognitive Science , 1992

Discriminative Training Methods for Hidden Markov Models: Theory and Experiments with Perceptron Algorithms

by Michael Collins , 2002
"... We describe new algorithms for training tagging models, as an alternative to maximum-entropy models or conditional random fields (CRFs). The algorithms rely on Viterbi decoding of training examples, combined with simple additive updates. We describe theory justifying the algorithms through a modific ..."

A bayesian hierarchical model for learning natural scene categories

by Li Fei-fei - In CVPR , 2005
"... We propose a novel approach to learn and recognize natural scene categories. Unlike previous work [9, 17], it does not require experts to annotate the training set. We represent the image of a scene by a collection of local regions, denoted as codewords obtained by unsupervised learning. Each region ..."
