We introduce an approach to integrate bi-directional contexts in a generative tree model by means of structured transductions. We show how this can be efficiently realized as the composition of a top-down and a bottom-up generative model for trees, that are trained independently within a circular encoding-decoding scheme. The resulting input-driven generative model is shown to capture information concerning bi-directional contexts within its state-space. An experimental evaluation using the Jaccard generative kernel for trees is presented, indicating that the approach can achieve state of the art performance on tree classification benchmarks.

Abstract
We introduce an approach to integrate bi-directional contexts in a generative tree model by means of structured transductions. We show how this can be efficiently realized as the composition of a top-down and a bottom-up generative model for trees, that are trained independently within a circular encoding-decoding scheme. The resulting input-driven generative model is shown to capture information concerning bi-directional contexts within its state-space. An experimental evaluation using the Jaccard generative kernel for trees is presented, indicating that the approach can achieve state of the art performance on tree classification benchmarks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
