Bootstrap Voting Experts

چکیده
BOOTSTRAP VOTING EXPERTS (BVE) is an extension to the VOTING EXPERTS algorithm for unsupervised chunking of sequences. BVE generates a series of segmentations, each of which incorporates knowledge gained from the previous segmentation. We show that this method of bootstrapping improves the performance of VOTING EXPERTS in a variety of unsupervised word segmentation scenarios, and generally improves both precision and recall of the algorithm. We also show that Minimum Description Length (MDL) can be used to choose nearly optimal parameters for VOTING EXPERTS in an unsupervised manner.

متن کاملAnalysis of the Reliability and Behavior of Majority and Plurality Voting Systems
majority voting, plurality voting, expert combination, fault-tolerance Voting is a well-known technique used to combine decisions of peer experts. It has wide application in many domains. Voting is used in fault tolerant applications to mask errors from one or more experts using N-Modular Redundancy (NMR) and N-version Programming. It is also used in pattern recognition applications where decis...
متن کاملThe Feasibility Analysis of Electronic Voting
This paper focuses on the feasibility of electronic voting. At first, a brief introduction of what electronic voting is; how it works and what its requirements are given. Then the popular implementation models in today’s electronic voting solutions are discussed. All the models are not perfect yet; experts are debating for the direction of electronic voting. Analyses of this paper go deep into ...
متن کاملImproving Statistical Word Alignment with Ensemble Methods
This paper proposes an approach to improve statistical word alignment with ensemble methods. Two ensemble methods are investigated: bagging and cross-validation committees. On these two methods, both weighted voting and unweighted voting are compared under the word alignment task. In addition, we analyze the effect of different sizes of training sets on the bagging method. Experimental results ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Behavior and Reliability of Voting Systems Comprising Tri-State Units
Voting is a commonly used technique in combining results from peer experts. In distributed decision making systems, voting mechanisms are used to obtain a decision by incorporating the opinion of multiple units. Voting systems has many applications in fault tolerant systems, mutual exclusion in distributed systems, and replicated databases. We are specifically interested in voting systems as us...
