text: "We consider Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) with pattern-based potentials
defined on a chain. In this model the energy of a string (labeling) x1...xn is
the sum of terms over intervals [i,j] where each term is non-zero only if the
substring xi...xj equals a prespecified pattern α. Such CRFs can be naturally
applied to many sequence tagging problems.\r\nWe present efficient algorithms
for the three standard inference tasks in a CRF, namely computing (i) the partition
function, (ii) marginals, and (iii) computing the MAP. Their complexities are
respectively O(nL), O(nLℓmax) and O(nLmin{|D|,log(ℓmax+1)}) where L is the combined
length of input patterns, ℓmax is the maximum length of a pattern, and D is the
input alphabet. This improves on the previous algorithms of (Ye et al., 2009)
whose complexities are respectively O(nL|D|), O(n|Γ|L2ℓ2max) and O(nL|D|), where
|Γ| is the number of input patterns.\r\nIn addition, we give an efficient algorithm
for sampling. Finally, we consider the case of non-positive weights. (Komodakis
& Paragios, 2009) gave an O(nL) algorithm for computing the MAP. We present
a modification that has the same worst-case complexity but can beat it in the
best case. "
