Concept Tracking and Adaptation for Drifting Data Streams under Extreme Verification Latency
Authors: Jesus L. Lobo,Miren Nekane Bilbao,Ana I. Torre-Bastida,Javier Del Ser,Maria Arostegi
When analyzing large-scale streaming data towards resolving classification problems, it is often assumed that true labels of the incoming data are available right after being predicted. This assumption allows online learning models to efficiently detect and accommodate non-stationarities in the…

The risk of sub-optimal use of Open Source NLP Software: UKB is inadvertently state-of-the-art in knowledge-based WSD
Authors: Oier Lopez de Lacalle,Aitor Soroa,Eneko Agirre
UKB is an open source collection of programs for performing, among other tasks, knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). Since it was released in 2009 it has been often used out-of-the-box in sub-optimal settings. We show that nine years later it is the state-of-the-art on knowledge-based…

The Relationship Between Graphical Representations of Regular Vine Copulas and Polytrees
Authors: Diana Carrera,Jose A. Lozano,Jose A. Lozano,Roberto Santana
Graphical models (GMs) are powerful statistical tools for modeling the (in)dependencies among random variables. In this paper, we focus on two different types of graphical models: R-vines and polytrees. Regarding the graphical representation of these models, the former uses a sequence of undirected…
