A simple introduction to maximum entropy models for natural language processing

. nstitute for Research in Cognitive Science, University of Pennsylvania, (1997)

Abstract

Many problems in natural language processing can be viewed as linguistic classification problems, in which linguistic contexts are used to predict linguistic classes. Maximum entropy models offer a clean way to combine diverse pieces of contextual evidence in order to estimate the probability of a certain linguistic class occurring with a certain linguistic context. This report demonstrates the use of a particular maximum entropy model on an example problem, and then proves some relevant...
