> In addition to classification, MALLET includes tools for sequence tagging for applications such as named-entity extraction from text. Algorithms include Hidden Markov Models, Maximum Entropy Markov Models, and Conditional Random Fields. These methods are implemented in an extensible system for finite state transducers.

Pull quote: "First, when I like a film using a like button, I am not liking the film, but rather a page referencing that film. Unfortunately, for most films there are countless pages for that film online that could be liked. The question for Graph Search is what to do with this plurality of online likes for each potential thing to be recommended. Facebook has chosen to drive search traffic to its own content hub pages (e.g., the hub page for Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather”) for each cardinal entity rather than just drive traffic to other websites where many of the likes have occurred. These Facebook hub pages exist as nodes in the Facebook Social Graph where users can connect as fans or just interested parties with just about anything (products, places, etc.) that is not another user.
>
> If I’m a publisher who puts a like button on my content, I want the likes of my pages to drive traffic back to my site and not to a Facebook hub page, so I can earn ad revenue or make purchases happen. Without back traffic from likes and hub pages diverting potential traffic away from their sites, publishers would do well to avoid the use of Like buttons on their site therefore limiting data available to the social graph. Why would Rotten Tomatoes want to help Facebook build movie hub pages to divert traffic away from its own pages on movies?"
