Workshop on Learning with Structured Data and applications on Natural Language and Biology

Submitted by serrurie on Thu, 03/05/2015 - 22:57

9th to 11th December 2015

 

This workshop aims at presenting recent advances in Machine Learning field of Structured Prediction. The goal of structured prediction is to learn from data for which an underlying structure exists (e.g. a graph) as well as produce a graph as output. Both theoretical and practical issues will be addressed by the invited speakers. Topics include structured and incremental perceptrons, Maximum Entropy Markov Models, Conditional Random Fields, Maximum Margin Markov Networks, SVMs for Interdependent and Structured Outputs. particular attention will be given to applications in Natural Language Processing (in areas such as syntactic analysis and discourse analysis) and biology.

The last day of the workshop will be devoted to a special course "deep learning : background and application to natural language processing" given by Alexandre Allauzen (LIMSI, Université Paris-Sud XI).
