Hierarchical maximum entropy density estimation
We study the problem of simultaneously estimating several densities where the datasets are organized into overlapping groups, such as a hierarchy. For this problem, we propose a m...

Entropy estimation using the principle of maximum entropy
In this paper, we present a novel entropy estimator for a given set of samples drawn from an unknown probability density function (PDF). Counter to other entropy estimators, the e...

Performance Guarantees for Regularized Maximum Entropy Density Estimation
Abstract. We consider the problem of estimating an unknown probability distribution from samples using the principle of maximum entropy (maxent). To alleviate overfitting with a v...

Maximum-Entropy Expectation-Maximization Algorithm for Image Reconstruction and Sensor Field Estimation
Abstract--In this paper, we propose a maximum-entropy expectation-maximization (MEEM) algorithm. We use the proposed algorithm for density estimation. The maximum-entropy constrain...

A Maximum-Entropy Partial Parser for Unrestricted Text
This paper describes a partial parser that assigns syntactic structures to sequences of partof-speech tags. The program uses the maximum entropy parameter estimation method, which...
