Optimizing Sampling-based Entity Resolution over Streaming Documents
Increasingly, organizations have employed methods to understand unstructured text across the web. Entity resolution is used to identify mentions in large, streaming text corpora. Sampling-based entity resolution using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques guarantees convergence to a stationary distribution and can jump out of a local optimum. When performing entity resolution over streams ...
متن کاملDesign Based Estimation of Finite Population Mean in Ranked Set Sampling
Abstract. This Article introduce method of ranked set sampling with replacement (RSSWR) in finite population and express how to computing samples of inclusion probability for this method. The Horvitz-Thompson and Hansen-Hurwtz estimators using auxiliary variables introduce for this design and use 2011-12 Urban Households Income and Income and Expenditure survey data, gathered for Tehran by stat...
متن کاملOptimizing the CVaR via Sampling
Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) is a prominent risk measure that is being used extensively in various domains. We develop a new formula for the gradient of the CVaR in the form of a conditional expectation. Based on this formula, we propose a novel sampling-based estimator for the gradient of the CVaR, in the spirit of the likelihood-ratio method. We analyze the bias of the estimator, and prov...
متن کاملAcute gastroenteritis in Hong Kong: a population-based telephone survey.
A population-based telephone survey of acute gastroenteritis (AG) was conducted in Hong Kong from August 2006 to July 2007. Study subjects were recruited through random digit-dialing with recruitments evenly distributed weekly over the 1-year period. In total, 3743 completed questionnaires were obtained. An AG episode is defined as diarrhoea >or=3 times or any vomiting in a 24-h period during t...
متن کاملOptimizing Speech Recognition Evaluation Using Stratified Sampling
Producing large enough quantities of high-quality transcriptions for accurate and reliable evaluation of an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system can be costly. It is therefore desirable to minimize the manual transcription work for producing metrics with an agreed precision. In this paper we demonstrate how to improve ASR evaluation precision using stratified sampling. We show that by alte...
