Abstract

In computational linguistics we develop tools and on-line services for everything from literature to social media data; but our tools are often optimized to minimize expected error on a single annotated dataset; typically newspaper articles - and evaluated on held-out data sampled from the same dataset. Significance testing across data points randomly sampled from a standard dataset only tells us how likely we are to see better performance on more data points sampled this way; but says nothing about performance on other datasets. This talk discusses how to modify learning algorithms to minimize expected error on future; unseen datasets; with applications to PoS tagging and dependency parsing; including cross-language learning problems. It also discusses the related issue of how to best evaluate NLP tools (intrinsically) taking their possible out-of-domain applications into account.
