ETL generalizes Transformation Based Learning (TBL) by solving the TBL bottleneck: the construction of good template sets. ETL automatically generates templates using Decision Tree decomposition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors describe ETL Committee, an ensemble method that uses ETL as the base learner. Experimental results show that ETL Committee improves the effectiveness of ETL classifiers. The application of ETL is presented to four Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks: part-of-speech tagging, phrase chunking, named entity recognition and semantic role labeling. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that ETL is an effective way to learn accurate transformation rules, and shows better results than TBL with handcrafted templates for the four tasks. By avoiding the use of handcrafted templates, ETL enables the use of transformation rules to a greater range of tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for both advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, \u003cb\u003eEntropy Guided Transformation Learning: Algorithms and Applications\u003c\/b\u003e provides a comprehensive introduction to ETL and its NLP applications.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-03-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447129776\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-2978-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 78\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548503236748,"sku":"9781447129776","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447129776.jpg?v=1772897376","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447129776","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
