Nlao writeup of Bellare 2009

This is a review of Bellare_2009_generalized_expectation_criteria_for_bootstrapping_extractors_using_record_text_alignment by user:Nlao.

Alignment models seems to be an interesting approach for texts that resembele structured records.

The only concern I have is that when matching a piece of text, we still need to choose a record in the databased to match with. Matching to all the records is expected to be very inefficient.
