Restricted by urban development stages, natural conditions, form and structure, diffusional growth occupies a large proportion of area in many cities. Traditional cellular automata (CA) has been widely applied studies because it can simulate complex system evolution with simple rules. However, due to the limitation neighborhood is insufficient for simulating process. A maximum entropy mode was ...

In this paper, we address the problem of predicting one of three functions for the English pronoun ‘it’: anaphoric, event reference or pleonastic. This disambiguation is valuable in the context of machine translation and coreference resolution. We present experiments using a MAXENT classifier trained on gold-standard data and self-training experiments of an RNN trained on silver-standard data, ...

BACKGROUND Culex tritaeniorhynchus is the primary vector of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a leading cause of encephalitis in Asia. JEV is transmitted in an enzootic cycle involving large wading birds as the reservoirs and swine as amplifying hosts. The development of a JEV vaccine reduced the number of JE cases in regions with comprehensive childhood vaccination programs, such as in Japan ...

Species distribution models are usually evaluated with cross-validation. In this procedure evaluation statistics are computed from model predictions for sites of presence and absence that were not used to train (fit) the model. Using data for 226 species, from six regions, and two species distribution modeling algorithms (Bioclim and MaxEnt), I show that this procedure is highly sensitive to "s...

Some di cult conceptual problems that have plagued Statistical Mechanics from the start, are explained by reference to a very simple experiment, which also explains why the MAXENT formalism gives reliable predictions. Then some of the inner workings of MAXENT are revealed by a general perturbation theorem, showing how a prediction is modi ed by adding a new constraint. It is illustrated by the ...

An increasing number of authors agree in that the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) is essential for the understanding of macroecological patterns. However, there are subtle but crucial differences among the approaches by several of these authors. This poses a major obstacle for anyone interested in applying the methodology of MaxEnt in this context. In a recent publication, Frank (2011) gives...

DSLRAE is a hierarchical classifier for similar written languages and varieties based on maximum-entropy (maxent) classifiers. In the first level, the text is classified into a language group using a simple token-based maxent classifier. At the second level, a group-specific maxent classifier is applied to classify the text as one of the languages or varieties within the previously identified g...
