Maximum Entropy Markov Models for Information Extraction and Segmentation
Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a powerful probabilistic tool for modeling sequential data, and have been applied with success to many text-related tasks, such as part-of-speech t...

Boosting as Entropy Projection
We consider the AdaBoost procedure for boosting weak learners. In AdaBoost, a key step is choosing a new distribution on the training examples based on the old distribution and th...

Adaptation of maximum entropy capitalizer: Little data can help a lot
A novel technique for maximum "a posteriori" (MAP) adaptation of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and maximum entropy Markov models (MEMM) is presented. The technique is applied...

Image region entropy: a measure of "visualness" of web images associated with one concept
We propose a new method to measure “visualness” of concepts, that is, what extent concepts have visual characteristics. To know which concept has visually discriminative power...

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...
