On the Equivalence between Set–Theoretic and Maxent MAP Estimation∗

In this paper, we establish an equivalence between two conceptually different methods of signal estimation under modeling uncertainty viz. set–theoretic estimation and maximum entropy (maxent) MAP estimation. The first method assumes constraints on the signal to be estimated, the second assumes constraints on a probability distribution for the signal. We provide broad conditions under which the...

Maxent Mechanics

This paper shows that: (a) given a mechanical system described by a set of independent coordinates in configuration space, (b) given an initial state of specified initial coordinates, and (c) given a situation in which the system can follow any one of a set of different possible paths with a pertinent probability pi , then the average path (defined as the weighted average positions and correspo...

GYDER: Maxent Metonymy Resolution

Though the GYDER system has achieved the highest accuracy scores for the metonymy resolution shared task at SemEval-2007 in all six subtasks, we don’t consider the results (72.80% accuracy for org, 84.36% for loc) particularly impressive, and argue that metonymy resolution needs more features.
