Maxi-mum Entropy is a probability distribution esti-mation technique widely used for a variety ofnatural language tasks, such as language mod-eling, part-of-speech tagging, and text segmen-tation. The underlying principle of maximumentropy is that without external knowledge,one should prefer distributions that are uni-form.
