Machine Learning

Keynote: Jason Eisner (Johns Hopkins University)
Topics:
- weighted automata, their theory and applications,
- statistical NLP; in particular approaches using finite-state techniques,
- results concerning the relation of statistical models and weighted automata,
- automata-based formalizations or implementations of statistical methods,
- machine learning approaches relating to the other topics,
- systems and frameworks for OCR/OLR with a connection to automata-based methods,
- statistical approaches to automated page segmentation and document analysis,
- supervised or unsupervised extraction of models for OCR post-correction, and
- systems and frameworks for post-correction or -segmentation of OCR output texts.

SIGMORPHON 2016 Shared Task: Morphological Reinflection
-------------------------------------------------------

Morphological analysis and generation of previously unseen word forms is a fundamental problem in NLP the accuracy of which is crucial for the success of many downstream tasks. Learning morphological inflection patterns from labeled data is a current challenge that is addressed by a number of papers published in various ACL-related venues.

CoNLL
