Introduction: For anyone planning to do research, conference attendance is virtually mandatory for success. Aside from exposing yourself to a large collection of different ideas, many interesting conversations leading to new research happen at conferences. If you are a student, you should plan to go to at least one summer conference. Your advisor should cover the costs.

Introduction: I just visited ISI where Daniel Marcu and others are working on machine translation. Apparently, machine translation is rapidly improving. A particularly dramatic year was 2002->2003 when systems switched from word-based translation to phrase-based translation. From a (now famous) slide by Charles Wayne at DARPA (which funds much of the work on machine translation) here is some anecdotal evidence: 2002 2003 insistent Wednesday may recurred her trips to Libya tomorrow for flying. Cairo 6-4 ( AFP ) – An official announced today in the Egyptian lines company for flying Tuesday is a company “insistent for flying” may resumed a consideration of a day Wednesday tomorrow her trips to Libya of Security Council decision trace international the imposed ban comment. And said the official “the institution sent a speech to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of lifting on Libya air, a situation her recieving replying are so a trip will pull to Libya a morning Wednesday.” E

Introduction: Textbooks invariably seem to carry the proof that uses Markov’s inequality, moment-generating functions, and Taylor approximations. Here’s an easier way. For , let be the KL divergence between a coin of bias and one of bias : Theorem: Suppose you do independent tosses of a coin of bias . The probability of seeing heads or more, for , is at most . So is the probability of seeing heads or less, for . Remark: By Pinsker’s inequality, . Proof Let’s do the case; the other is identical. Let be the distribution over induced by a coin of bias , and likewise for a coin of bias . Let be the set of all sequences of tosses which contain heads or more. We’d like to show that is unlikely under . Pick any , with say heads. Then: Since for every , we have and we’re done.

Introduction: Mark Reid has stepped up and created a comment system for ICML papers which Greger Linden has tightly integrated. My understanding is that Mark spent quite a bit of time on the details, and there are some cool features like working latex math mode. This is an excellent chance for the ICML community to experiment with making ICML year-round, so I hope it works out. Please do consider experimenting with it.
5 0.51590282 97 hunch net-2005-07-23-Interesting papers at ACL
Introduction: A recent discussion indicated that one goal of this blog might be to allow people to post comments about recent papers that they liked. I think this could potentially be very useful, especially for those with diverse interests but only finite time to read through conference proceedings. ACL 2005 recently completed, and here are four papers from that conference that I thought were either good or perhaps of interest to a machine learning audience. David Chiang, A Hierarchical Phrase-Based Model for Statistical Machine Translation . (Best paper award.) This paper takes the standard phrase-based MT model that is popular in our field (basically, translate a sentence by individually translating phrases and reordering them according to a complicated statistical model) and extends it to take into account hierarchy in phrases, so that you can learn things like “X ‘s Y” -> “Y de X” in chinese, where X and Y are arbitrary phrases. This takes a step toward linguistic syntax for MT, whic
