Jan. 2016 - I joined the faculty of the
Sep. 2015 - I successfully defended my thesis, "Graphical Models with Structured Factors, Neural Factors, and Approximation-Aware Training"
Jul. 2015 - Our
was accepted -- the model we introduce obtains state-of-the-art results on relation extraction and nearly matches the best systems on relation classification.
Mar. 2015 - We had a
accepted on approximation-aware learning for structured belief propagation.
Feb. 2015 - Our
on fine-grained relation extraction was accepted to NAACL 2015.
Feb. 2015 - Our
was accepted for re-presentation at ACL 2015 in Beijing, China.
Dec. 2014 - I was invited to present a breakout session at
Dec. 2014 -
will be presented at NIPS workshops (AKBC and Learning Semantics).
Sep. 2014 - I received the
academic year.
Jun. 2014 - The
for our tutorial on Structured Belief Propagation for NLP are up.
Jun. 2014 - Check out my , with pre-releases of Pacaya, Prim, and Optimize!

Improved Relation Extraction with Feature-rich Compositional Embedding Models.

(*The first two authors contributed equally.)
EMNLP. 2015.
There is a mistake in our description of the ACE 2005 dataset. Section 6.1 states that the number of relations in the training set (bn+nw) with all pairs was 43,518, but the actual number was 43,497. Likewise, Appendix A states the number was 35,990 for the Plank & Moschitti (2013) setting, but the actual number was 34,669. Thanks to Thien Nguyen for helping us to find the error.
