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...

Asymptotically Optimal Model Estimation for Quantization
—Using high-rate theory approximations we introduce flexible practical quantizers based on possibly non-Gaussian models in both the constrained resolution (CR) and the constrain...

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...
