Introduction Parameter estimation is fundamental to many sta-tistical approaches to NLP. Because of the high-dimensional nature of natural language, it is often easy to generate an extremely large ... Lasso (L1) regularization. We first investigate all of our estimators on two re-ranking tasks: a parse selection task and a language model (LM) adaptation task. Then we apply the best of...
