Seminar "Probabilistic Models for Information Extraction", Summer '11

Dr. Martin Theobald, M.Sc. Maximilian Dylla

Organization



Contents of the Seminar


The seminar focuses on probabilistic models which are commonly used in the context of information extraction tasks, such as named-entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging, co-reference resolution, and statistical parsing. The probabilistic models we cover in the seminar include Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), Conditional Random Fields (CRFs), Constrained Conditional Models (CCMs), Markov Logic Networks (MLNs) and related techniques. Talks will be based on recent research papers in this field.
