Naive Bayes The multinomial Naive Bayes model on a dictionary is a familiar option for text classification, e.g. (Gale, Church, & Yarowski 1992), (McCallum & Nigam 1998). When there are additional features, the Naive Bayes model has also a natural extension: We simply assume that each additional feature is independent of all the others, conditional upon . In this case, we invert Bayes’ Law by o...

We introduce into Bayesian decipherment a base distribution derived from similarities of word embeddings. We use Dirichlet multinomial regression (Mimno and McCallum, 2012) to learn a mapping between ciphertext and plaintext word embeddings from non-parallel data. Experimental results show that the base distribution is highly beneficial to decipherment, improving state-of-the-art decipherment a...

This paper discusses some operational issues regarding the design of monetary frameworks in general and inflation targets in particular. Among inflation targeters,1 these issues are well-known and manifold (see, inter alia, Yates (1995), McCallum (1995), Debelle (1997), Siklos (1997) and the country contributions in the volumes by Haldane (1995) and Leiderman and Svensson (1995)). They include:...

We show how a topological model which describes the stretching and squeezing mechanisms responsible for creating chaotic behavior can be extracted from the neural spike train data. The mechanism we have identified is the same one ("gateau roule," or jelly-roll) which has previously been identified in the Duffing oscillator [Gilmore and McCallum, Phys. Rev. E 51, 935 (1995)] and in a YAG laser [...

Clinical experience (Browne, Beck, and McCallum, 1949) and rising certification figures by the Pneumoconiosis Medical Board show that there is a pneumoconiosis problem amongst Durham coalminers. Moreover, a study of large films, taken following routine mass miniature radiography (M.M.R.) at eight Durham pits (McCallum, 1952), suggested that at least 3 to 6% of miners at these pits had well mark...
