A c lassifier takes an event and assigns a (pre-define d) class to it. When events are sequences, the cla ssification may be based on aspects of the structu re of these events. For instance, the fact that ce rtain symbols co-occur in a sequence may be an ind ication that these sequences belong to a certain c lass. In this talk, I will describe some resear ch I have been doing in this field recently. This work is still in progress. I will show some result s on the task of question classification (assign t he type of answer to a question), and composer cla ssification (given a musical piece, assign its com poser).
