This is a review of klein_2002_conditional_structure_versus_conditional_estimation_in_nlp_models by user:wka.

Some Notes:

• Problem domains:
  • WSD studied with NB model, with JL and CL estmation: discriminative criteria lead to better test-set accuracy
  • POS tagging studied with HMMs and CMMs
• Label bias and observation bias:
  • explaining-away phenomena
  • consequences of independence assumptions

Comments:

• (+1) new results consistent with previous research, with generalized conclusions
