Abstract Recent progress in bioinformatics, natural language understanding, computer vision, information retrieval and other areas has been significantly enabled by "conditional random fields" (CRFs)---machine learning models of structured outputs, such as sequences, trees and grids. However, many of the fundamental problems in these application areas involve not just fixed structures, but structures that must be inferred. This structural ambiguity arises from interacting choices at different levels of representation (e.g. from character sequences to meaning, or from pixels to scene interpretation). The project will move conditional random fields (CRFs) beyond fixed graphical structures to structures that are constructed dynamically during inference. Such a capability will be key to building next-generation systems that solve, not just an individual piece of a problem, but complex multi-step problems, as found in natural language understanding and computer vision, in a unified way.

“有条件的随机字段”（CRF）（CRF） - - 机器学习模型（例如序列，树木和网格）的机器学习模型，已经显着实现了生物信息学，自然语言理解，计算机视觉，信息检索和其他领域的最新进展。但是，这些应用领域的许多基本问题不仅涉及固定结构，还涉及必须推断的结构。这种结构性歧义是由在不同级别表示的相互作用（例如，从字符序列到含义，或从像素到场景解释）的相互作用。该项目将将条件随机场（CRF）移至固定的图形结构之外，并在推理过程中动态构建的结构。这样的功能将是建立下一代系统的关键，该系统以统一的方式在自然语言理解和计算机视觉中发现的那样，不仅是一个单独的问题，而且要解决复杂的多步问题。
