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.

Introduction: Mark Reid has setup a discussion site for ICML papers again this year and Monica Dinculescu has linked it in from the ICML site. Last year’s attempt appears to have been an acceptable but not wild success as a little bit of fruitful discussion occurred. I’m hoping this year will be a bit more of a success—please don’t be shy I’d like to also point out that ICML ‘s early registration deadline has a few hours left, while UAI ‘s and COLT ‘s are in a week.

Introduction: A substantial difficulty with the 2009 and 2008 ICML discussion system was a communication vacuum, where authors were not informed of comments, and commenters were not informed of responses to their comments without explicit monitoring. Mark Reid has setup a new discussion system for 2010 with the goal of addressing this. Mark didn’t want to make it to intrusive, so you must opt-in. As an author, find your paper and “Subscribe by email” to the comments. As a commenter, you have the option of providing an email for follow-up notification.

Introduction: Andrej Bauer has setup a Mathematics and Computation Blog. As a first step he has tried to address the persistent and annoying problem of math on the web. As a basic tool for precisely stating and transfering understanding of technical subjects, mathematics is very necessary. Despite this necessity, every mechanism for expressing mathematics on the web seems unnaturally clumsy. Here are some of the methods and their drawbacks: MathML This was supposed to be the answer, but it has two severe drawbacks: “Internet Explorer” doesn’t read it and the language is an example of push-XML-to-the-limit which no one would ever consider writing in. (In contrast, html is easy to write in.) It’s also very annoying that math fonts must be installed independent of the browser, even for mozilla based browsers. Create inline images. This has several big drawbacks: font size is fixed for all viewers, you can’t cut & paste inside the images, and you can’t hyperlink from (say) symbol to de

Introduction: Alex Smola showed me this ICML 2006 webpage. This is NOT the ICML we know, but rather some people at “Enformatika”. Investigation shows that they registered with an anonymous yahoo email account from dotregistrar.com the “Home of the $6.79 wholesale domain!” and their nameservers are by Turkticaret , a Turkish internet company. It appears the website has since been altered to “ ICNL ” (the above link uses the google cache). They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so the organizers of the real ICML 2006 must feel quite flattered.

1 0.92744291 171 hunch net-2006-04-09-Progress in Machine Translation
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

This is partly a coincidence, and partly due to the general internationalization of science over the last few years. With cuts to basic science in the US and increased hassle for visitors, conferences outside the US become more attractive. Europe and Australia/New Zealand are the immediate winners because they have the science, infrastructure, and english in place. China and India are possible future winners.

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.
5 0.78935575 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
