Stacked Sequential Learning

چکیده
We describe a new sequential learning scheme called “stacked sequential learning”. Stacked sequential learning is a meta-learning algorithm, in which an arbitrary base learner is augmented so as make it aware of the labels of nearby examples. We evaluate the method on several “sequential partitioning problems”, which are characterized by long runs of identical labels. We demonstrate that on these problems, sequential stacking consistently improves the performance of non-sequential base learners; that sequential stacking often improves performance of learners (such as CRFs) that are designed specifically for sequential tasks; and that a sequentially stacked maximum-entropy learner generally outperforms CRFs.

Multi-scale Stacked Sequential Learning
Sequential learning is the discipline of machine learning that deals with dependent data such that neighboring labels exhibit some kind of relationship. The paper main contribution is two-fold: first, we generalize the stacked sequential learning, highlighting the key role of neighboring interactions modeling. Second, we propose an effective and efficient way of capturing and exploiting sequent...
متن کاملGeneralized Stacked Sequential Learning
In many supervised learning problems, it is assumed that data is independent and identically distributed. This assumption does not hold true in many real cases, where a neighboring pair of examples and their labels exhibit some kind of relationship. Sequential learning algorithms take benefit of these relationships in order to improve generalization. In the literature, there are different appro...
متن کاملA stacked sequential learning method for investigator name recognition from web-based medical articles
“Investigator Names” is a newly required field in MEDLINE citations. It consists of personal names listed as members of corporate organizations in an article. Extracting investigator names automatically is necessary because of the increasing volume of articles reporting collaborative biomedical research in which a large number of investigators participate. In this paper, we present an SVM-based...

The main contribution of this work is a shifting technique applied during the testing phase that makes possible, thanks to template images, to c...
متن کاملCombination of Heterogeneous EEG Feature Extraction Methods and stacked Sequential Learning for Sleep Stage Classification
This work proposes a methodology for sleep stage classification based on two main approaches: the combination of features extracted from electroencephalogram (EEG) signal by different extraction methods, and the use of stacked sequential learning to incorporate predicted information from nearby sleep stages in the final classifier. The feature extraction methods used in this work include three ...
