A discriminative approach, based on maximum entropy models, is proposed to perform capitalization, taking the language changes into consideration. The proposed method makes it possible to use large corpora for training. The evaluation is performed over newspaper corpora using different testing periods. The achieved results reveal a strong relation between the capitalization performance and the elapsed time between the training and testing data periods.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:Seminars]]<br /> [[category:Seminars 2008]]<br /> [[category:Conference Practice]]</div>
