We propose a method to calculate the QCD level density directly from the thermodynamic quantities obtained by lattice QCD simulations with the use of the maximum entropy method (MEM). Understanding QCD thermodynamics from QCD spectral properties has its own importance. Also it has a close connection to phenomenological analyses of the lattice data as well as experimental data on the basis of ha...

We propose a statistical dialogue analysis model to determine discourse structures as well as speech acts using maximum entropy model. The model can automatically acquire probabilistic discourse knowledge from a discourse tagged corpus to resolve ambiguities. We propose the idea of tagging discourse segment boundaries to represent the structural information of discourse. Using this representati...

The natural outcome of the most striking similarity between the second laws of blackhole mechanics and thermodynamics is blackhole entropy. In this paper we discuss the evidence of blackhole entropy and the linearity relation between blackhole entropy to its horizon area. Finally, using thermodynamic relations we obtain Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, Hawking temperature and other intensive paramet...

In this work, we introduce several models for grapheme-tophoneme conversion: a conditional maximum entropy model, a joint maximum entropy n-gram model, and a joint maximum entropy n-gram model with syllabification. We examine the relative merits of conditional and joint models for this task, and find that joint models have many advantages. We show that the performance of our best model, the joi...

In recent years, the maximum entropy principle has been applied to a wide range of different fields, often successfully. While these works are usually focussed on cross-disciplinary applications, the point of this letter is instead to reconsider a fundamental point of kinetic theory. Namely, we shall re-examine the Stosszahlansatz leading to the irreversible Boltzmann equation at the light of t...

A Maximum Entropy Model based system for discriminative learning of syntactic and semantic dependencies submitted to the CoNLL-2008 shared task (Surdeanu, et al., 2008) is presented in this paper. The system converts the dependency learning task to classification issues and reconstructs the dependent relations based on classification results. Finally F1 scores of 86.69, 69.95 and 78.35 are obta...

In this paper we consider Hopf’s Lemma and the Strong Maximum Principle for supersolutions to

Probabilities in quantum physics can be shown to originate from a maximum entropy principle.

Two open questions of inductive reasoning are solved: (1) does the principle of maximum entropy (PME) give a solution to the obverse Majerník problem; and (2) is Wagner correct when he claims that Jeffrey’s updating principle (JUP) contradicts PME? Majerník shows that PME provides unique and plausible marginal probabilities, given conditional probabilities. The obverse problem posed here is whe...

Question classification is the first step that Question Answering System must dispose, the precision of question classification greatly affect the subsequent processes. In this paper, we present a new question classification method which uses HowNet as the semantic resource to extract features, and we use Maximum Entropy Model to implement the method. The results validate the effectiveness of t...
