Post date: Apr 16, 2011 2:50:21 PM

The final lecture on NLP applications of PGMs is fast approaching. It will be on April 29. We will also have one presentation that week. Please read the following paper in advance of the class:

* Yuan (Alan) Qi, Martin Szummer, and Thomas P. Minka, Bayesian Conditional Random Fields, AI-Stats 2005 (presented by Matt).

o rather than standard MLE training, takes a fully Bayesian approach to derive a posterior over parameters. The posterior is averaged over during inference

Remember, you should also submit your review of the Goldwater et al. paper on word segmentation by April 28. Happy reading!
