To be specific, the talk will go through four sequence classifier models: Maximum Entropy Classifier, Hidden Markov Models, Maximum Entropy Markov Models and Conditional Random Fields. And at last, I will give a brief introduction to Domain Adaptation, which is an important problem in natural language processing due to the lack of labeled data in novel domains.</span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#222222" face="lucida Grande, Verdana, Microsoft YaHei" class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"><br class=""></span></font></div><div class=""><font color="#222222" face="lucida Grande, Verdana, Microsoft YaHei" class=""><span class="" style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 23.799999237060547px;"> The attachment is the PPT for the seminar.
