The classical maximum entropy (ME) approach to estimating the unknown parameters of a multinomial discrete choice problem, which is equivalent to the maximum likelihood multinomial logit (ML) ...

One of the fundamental assumptions in statistical machine translation (SMT) is that the correspondence between a sentence and its translation can be explained in terms of an alignment between their ...

Scientists have shown that the dark matter in galaxies follows a 'maximum entropy' distribution, which sheds light on its nature. The gravitational force in the Universe under which it has evolved ...

Entropy is one of the most useful concepts in science but also one of the most confusing. This article serves as a brief introduction to the various types of entropy that can be used to quantify the ...

Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. A new equation sheds new light on how entropy is produced on a very short time scale in laser ...
