A significant barrier to applying machine learning
to new real world domains is the cost of obtaining
the necessary training data. To address this ... criteria allows
for a dramatic reduction in annotation time
by shifting from traditional instance-labeling
to feature-labeling, and the methods presented
outperform traditional CRF training...
