Most of the existing Knowledge-based Question Answering (KBQA) methods first learn to map the given question to a query graph, and then convert the graph to an executable query to find the answer.

We first identify ICD-10 codes that human coders tend to misuse or confuse, based on the codes' locations in the ICD-10 hierarchy, the types of the codes, and baseline classifier's prediction behaviors; we then develop a novel training strategy that accounts for such noise.

With our proposed approach, interpretability is achieved not through implicitly learned attention scores but by attributing each prediction to a particular sentence and words selected by human coders.

This paper considers a multi-armed bandit game where the number of arms is much larger than the maximum budget and is effectively infinite.

Boosted decision trees enjoy popularity in a variety of applications; however, for large-scale datasets, the cost of training a decision tree in each round can be prohibitively expensive.

We consider the problem of near-optimal arm identification in the fixed confidence setting of the infinitely armed bandit problem when nothing is known about the arm reservoir distribution.

We present a technique for estimating the similarity between objects such as movies or foods whose proper representation depends on human perception.

Multi-label text classifiers need to be carefully regularized to prevent the severe over-fitting in the high dimensional space, and also need to take into account label dependencies in order to make accurate predictions under uncertainty.
