چکیده
Just as matchings represent a certain type of fundamental structure, so do shortest paths. For example, consider observations of people walking through their neighborhood from home to work. A natural model of these observations is that people have a cost function for traversing sections of road or sidewalk that depend on features such as length, scenery, crowdedness, or safety. To get between two points, we might suppose that a person chooses the path that has lowest cost under their (to us, unobserved) cost function.

Randomized Optimum Models for Structured Prediction
One approach to modeling structured discrete data is to describe the probability of states via an energy function and Gibbs distribution. A recurring difficulty in these models is the computation of the partition function, which may require an intractable sum. However, in many such models, the mode can be found efficiently even when the partition function is unavailable. Recent work on Perturb-...
متن کاملPAC-Bayes Generalization Bounds for Randomized Structured Prediction
We present a new PAC-Bayes generalization bound for structured prediction that is applicable to perturbation-based probabilistic models. Our analysis explores the relationship between perturbation-based modeling and the PAC-Bayes framework, and connects to recently introduced generalization bounds for structured prediction. We obtain the first PAC-Bayes bounds that guarantee better generalizati...
متن کاملBlending Learning and Inference in Structured Prediction
In this paper we derive an efficient algorithm to learn the parameters of structured predictors in general graphical models. This algorithm blends the learning and inference tasks, which results in a significant speedup over traditional approaches, such as conditional random fields and structured support vector machines. For this purpose we utilize the structures of the predictors to describe a...

متن کاملApproximated Structured Prediction for Learning Large Scale Graphical Models
In this paper we propose an approximated structured prediction framework for large scale graphical models and derive message-passing algorithms for learning their parameters efficiently. We first relate CRFs and structured SVMs and show that in CRFs a variant of the log-partition function, known as soft-max, smoothly approximates the hinge loss function of structured SVMs. We then propose an in...
