This is one of the class meetings on the schedule for the course Syllabus for Structured Prediction 10-210 in Fall 2011.
Learning Edit Distances: 2
We'll pick up where we left off Tuesday with these slides, and discuss the Bellare et al paper, and also discuss the math behind EM in a little more detail.
Required Readings
- A Conditional Random Field for Discriminatively-trained Finite-state String Edit Distance. Andrew McCallum, Kedar Bellare and Fernando Pereira, Conference on Uncertainty in AI (UAI'05), 2005.
Optional Readings
- Generalized Expectation Criteria for Bootstrapping Extractors using Record-Text Alignment. Kedar Bellare and Andrew McCallum. Empirical Methods in NLP (EMNLP) 2009, Singapore (EMNLP'09), 2009.
Background
- Expectation-maximization: A short tutorial. Sean Borman. The material on EM is mostly taken from this tutorial.
