Böcker av Steven Abney

This book provides a broad, accessible treatment of the theory and linguistic applications of semisupervised methods. It presents a brief history of the field before moving on to discuss well-known natural language processing methods, such as self-training and co-training. It then centers on machine learning techniques, including the boundary-oriented methods of perceptrons, boosting, SVMs, and the null-category noise model. In addition, the book covers clustering, the EM algorithm, related generative methods, and agreement methods. It concludes with the graph-based method of label propagation as well as a detailed discussion of spectral methods.
