Abstract
Dynamic inference is leveraged to provide online sequence data labeling. This provides real-time alternatives to current methods of inference for sequence data. Instances estimate an amount of uncertainty in a prediction of labels of sequence data and then dynamically predict a label when an uncertainty in the prediction is deemed acceptable. The techniques utilized to determine when the label can be generated are tunable and can be personalized for a given user and/or a system. Employed decoding techniques can be dynamically adjusted to tradeoff system resources for accuracy. This allows for fine tuning of a system based on available system resources. Instances also allow for online inference because the inference does not require knowledge of a complete set of sequence data.
