Multiview Semi-supervised Learning for Ranking Multilingual Documents
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of learning to rank documents in a multilingual context, when reference ranking information is only partially available. We propose a multiview learning approach to this semisupervised ranking task, where the translation of a document in a given language is considered as a view of the document. Although both multiview and semi-supervised learning of classifiers have been studied extensively in recent years, their application to the problem of ranking has received much less attention. We describe a semi-supervised multiview ranking algorithm that exploits a global agreement between viewspecific ranking functions on a set of unlabeled observations. We show that our proposed algorithm achieves significant improvements over both semi-supervised multiview classification and semi-supervised single-view rankers on a large multilingual collection of Reuters news covering 5 languages. Our experiments also suggest that our approach is most effective when few labeled documents are available and the classes are imbalanced.

Multi-view Exploratory Learning for AKBC Problems
In this paper, we argue that many Automatic Knowledge Base Construction (AKBC) tasks which have previously been addressed separately can be viewed as instances of single abstract problem: multiview semi-supervised learning with an incomplete class hierarchy. We also present a general EM framework for solving this abstract task, and summarize past work on various special cases of multiview semi-...
متن کاملClustering multilingual documents by estimating text - to - text semantic relatedness
This thesis is about multilingual document clustering through estimating semantic relatedness between multilingual texts. Specifically we focus on the task of clustering multilingual documents with very limited or no supervisory information. We present two approaches to address the problem : a comparable-corpora based approach and a web-searches based approach. Our first approach derives pairwi...
متن کاملInformation Retrieval Using Label Propagation Based Ranking
The IR group participated in the crosslanguage retrieval task (CLIR) at the sixth NTCIR workshop (NTCIR 6). In this paper, we describe our approach on Chinese Single Language Information Retrieval (SLIR) task and English-Chinese Bilingual CLIR task (BLIR). We use both bi-grams and single Chinese characters as index units and use OKAPI BM25 as retrieval model. The initial retrieved documents are...
متن کاملLearning Preferences with Co-Regularized Least-Squares
Situations when only a limited amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data is available to the learning algorithm are typical for many real-world problems. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised preference learning algorithm that is based on the multiview approach. Multi-view learning algorithms operate by constructing a predictor for each view and by choosing such predicti...
