4.1 Variables and Objective Function The following set of indicator variables encodes the selection of objects and ordering:

The objective function , F, that we will maximize is a weighted linear combination of these indicator variables and can be optimized using integer linear programming:

We use IBM CPLEX to optimize this objective function subject to the constraints introduced next in §4.2.

5.1 Variables and Objective Function The following set of variables encodes the selection of phrases and their ordering in constructing 5’ sentences.

Finally, we define the objective function F as:

the objective function (Eq.

Objective function We denote by 0 the set of all the parameters to be optimized, including forward phrase and lexicon translation probabilities and their backward counterparts.

Therefore, we design the objective function to be maximized as:

First, we propose a new objective function (Eq.

Accordingly, our objective function is replaced by:

3.4 The Objective Function

We now define our objective function in terms of the variables.

We are also constrained by the linear programming framework, hence we set the objective function as

The objective function is the sum of weights over the edges of g and the constraint 137;]- + mjk — mik g 1 on the binary variables enforces that whenever 137; j = mjk = 1, then also 137;], = 1 (transitivity).

Then, at each iteration a single node v is reattached (see below) to the FRG in a way that improves the objective function .

This is repeated until the value of the objective function cannot be improved anymore by reattaching a node.

Clearly, at each reattachment the value of the objective function cannot decrease, since the optimization algorithm considers the previous graph as one of its candidate solutions.

It is a bootstrapping learning method which uses a graph propagation algorithm with a well defined objective function .

(2007) provide an objective function for this algorithm using a generalized definition of cross-entropy in terms of Bregman distance, which motivates our objective in section 4.

6.5 Objective function

Variants of this algorithm have been formalized as optimizing an objective function in previous work by Abney (2004) and Haffari and Sarkar (2007), but it is not clear that any perform as well as the Yarowsky algorithm itself.

well-understood as minimizing an objective function at each iteration, and it obtains state of the art performance on several different NLP data sets.

The SGD uses a small randomly-selected subset of the training samples to approximate the gradient of an objective function .

.n, parameter estimation is performed by maximizing the objective function,

The final objective function is as follows:

t E('wt) = 'w* + H (I — vofimH(w*))('wo — 10*), m=1 where w* is the optimal weight vector, and H is the Hessian matrix of the objective function .

In effect, LSA allows missing and observed words to equally impact the objective function .

Moreover, the true semantics of the concept definitions is actually related to some missing words, but such true semantics will not be favored by the objective function , since equation 2 allows for too strong an impact by Xij = 0 for any missing word.

The model parameters (vectors in P and Q) are optimized by minimizing the objective function:

With the addition of the (0 prior, the MAP (maximum a posteriori) objective function is

Let F (6) be the objective function in

(Note that we don’t allow m = 0 because this can cause 6" + 6m to land on the boundary of the probability simplex, where the objective function is undefined.)
