A Tutorial on Dual Decomposition and Lagrangian Relaxation for Inference in Natural Language Processing

Dual decomposition, and more generally Lagrangian relaxation, is a classical method for combinatorial optimization; it has recently been applied to several inference problems in natural language processing (NLP). This tutorial gives an overview of the technique. We describe example algorithms, descr...
