چکیده

This note describes generalized expectation (GE) criteria, a framework for incorporating preferences about model expectations into parameter estimation objective functions. We discuss relations to other methods, various learning paradigms it supports, and applications that can leverage its flexibility.

Generalized Expectation Criteria for Semi-Supervised Learning with Weakly Labeled Data

In this paper, we present an overview of generalized expectation criteria (GE), a simple, robust, scalable method for semi-supervised training using weakly-labeled data. GE fits model parameters by favoring models that match certain expectation constraints, such as marginal label distributions, on the unlabeled data. This paper shows how to apply generalized expectation criteria to two classes ...

Generalized Expectation Criteria for Semi-Supervised Learning of Conditional Random Fields

This paper presents a semi-supervised training method for linear-chain conditional random fields that makes use of labeled features rather than labeled instances. This is accomplished by using generalized expectation criteria to express a preference for parameter settings in which the model’s distribution on unlabeled data matches a target distribution. We induce target conditional probability ...

Alternating Projections for Learning with Expectation Constraints

We present an objective function for learning with unlabeled data that utilizes auxiliary expectation constraints. We optimize this objective function using a procedure that alternates between information and moment projections. Our method provides an alternate interpretation of the posterior regularization framework (Graca et al., 2008), maintains uncertainty during optimization unlike constra...

Semi-supervised Learning of Dependency Parsers using Generalized Expectation Criteria

In this paper, we propose a novel method for semi-supervised learning of nonprojective log-linear dependency parsers using directly expressed linguistic prior knowledge (e.g. a noun’s parent is often a verb). Model parameters are estimated using a generalized expectation (GE) objective function that penalizes the mismatch between model predictions and linguistic expectation constraints. In a co...

A Study on Preference Orderings of Mathematical expectation, Expected Utility and Distorted Expectation

One of the challenges for decision-makers in insurance and finance is choosing the appropriate criteria for making decisions. Mathematical expectation, expected utility, and distorted expectation are the three most common measures in this area. In this article, we study these three criteria, and by providing some examples, we review and compare the decisions made by each measure.
