Unifying Divergence Minimization and Statistical Inference Via Convex Duality
Abstract. In this paper we unify divergence minimization and statistical inference by means of convex duality. In the process of doing so, we prove that the dual of approximate max...

The Minimum Information Principle for Discriminative Learning
Exponential models of distributions are widely used in machine learning for classification and modelling. It is well known that they can be interpreted as maximum entropy models u...

Learning Mixture Models with the Latent Maximum Entropy Principle
We present a new approach to estimating mixture models based on a new inference principle we have proposed: the latent maximum entropy principle (LME). LME is different both from ...

Mistake Bounds for Maximum Entropy Discrimination
We establish a mistake bound for an ensemble method for classification based on maximizing the entropy of voting weights subject to margin constraints. The bound is the same as a ...

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...
