Maximum Entropy and the Glasses You Are Looking Through (1301.3860v1)
Published 16 Jan 2013 in cs.AI
Abstract: We give an interpretation of the Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) Principle in game-theoretic terms. Based on this interpretation, we make a formal distinction between different ways of {em applying/} Maximum Entropy distributions. MaxEnt has frequently been criticized on the grounds that it leads to highly representation dependent results. Our distinction allows us to avoid this problem in many cases.
