作者：Elkan, Charles 摘要：Log-linear models are a far-reaching extension of logistic regression, while con- ditional random fields (CRFs) are a special case of log-linear models suitable for so-called structured learning tasks. Structured learning means learning to predict outputs that have internal structure. For example, recognizing handwritten words is more accurate when the correlations between neighboring letters are used to reÞne predictions. This tutorial will provide a simple but thorough introduction to these new developments in machine learning that have great potential for many novel applications. The tutorial will first explain what log-linear models are, with with concrete examples but also with mathematical generality. Next, feature-functions will be explained; these are the knowledge-representation technique underlying log-linear models. The tutorial will then present linear-chain CRFs, from the point of view that they are a special case of log-linear models.
