We develop a worst-case analysis of aggregation of binary classifier ensembles in a transductive setting, for a broad class of losses including but not limited to all convex surrogates. The result is a family of parameter-free ensemble aggregation algorithms, which are as efficient as linear learning and prediction for convex risk minimization but work without any relaxations whatsoever on many nonconvex losses like the 0-1 loss. The prediction algorithms take a familiar form, applying "link functions" to a generalized notion of ensemble margin, but without the assumptions typically made in margin-based learning all this structure follows from a minimax interpretation of loss minimization.

Automatically generated political event data is an important part of the social science data ecosystem. The approaches for generating this data, though, have remained largely the same for two decades. During this time, the field of computational linguistics has progressed tremendously. This paper presents an overview of political event data, including methods and ontologies, and a set of experiments to determine the applicability of deep neural networks to the extraction of political events from news text.

Segmental conditional random fields (SCRFs) and connectionist temporal classification (CTC) are two sequence labeling objectives used for end-to-end training of speech recognition models. Both models define the transcription probability by marginalizing decisions about latent segmentation alternatives to derive a sequence probability: the former uses a globally normalized joint model of segment labels and durations, and the latter classifies each frame as either an output symbol or a "continuation" of the previous label. In this paper, we train a recognition model by optimizing an interpolation between the SCRF and CTC losses, where the same recurrent neural network (RNN) encoder used for feature extraction for both outputs. We find that this multi-task objective improves recognition accuracy when decoding with either the SCRF or CTC models. Additionally, we show that CTC can also be used to pretrain the RNN encoder, which improves the convergence rate when learning the joint model.
