DESCRIPTION:In the field of machine learning, many
  problems are treated as classification tasks. 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).    For more information and abstracts, see
