Summary : Perl5 module for Maximum Entropy Modeling and Feature Induction
|
Description :
This module is an implementation of the Generalised and Improved Iterative Scaling (GIS, IIS) algorithms and the Feature Induction (FI) algorithm as defined in (*Darroch and Ratcliff 1972*) and (*Della Pietra et al. 1997*). The purpose of the scaling algorithms is to find the maximum entropy distribution given a set of events and (optionally) an initial distribution. Also a set of candidate features may be specified; then the FI algorithm may be applied to find and add the candidate feature(s) that give the largest `gain\' in terms of Kullback Leibler divergence when it is added to the current set of features.
Events are specified in terms of a set of feature functions (properties) f_1...f_k that map each event to {0,1} or to the natural numbers: an event is a string of bits. In addition, the frequency of each event is given. We assume the event space to have a probability distribution that can be described by
p(x) = 1/Z e^{sum_i alpha_i f_i(x)}
If you have a Perl earlier than 5.005, then you need \'Data::Dumper\' module by Gurusamy Sarathy. It can be obtained from CPAN just like this module.
