Paradoxes of MaxEnt markedness
Proceedings of the Annual Meetings on Phonology, 2023 Over the past two decades, theoretical linguistics has taken a probabilistic turn. Maximum entropy (ME) has been endorsed as a model of probabilistic phonology because of its classical guarantees for grammatical inference. Yet, little is known about the basic organizing principles of ME phonology beyond circumstantial evidence of ME’s ability to fit ...

MaxEnt and dynamical information [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B, 2012 The MaxEnt solutions are shown to display a variety of behaviors (beyond the traditional and customary exponential one) if adequate dynamical information is inserted into the concomitant entropic-variational principle. In particular, we show both theoretically and numerically that power laws and power laws with exponential cut-offs emerge as ...

Incremental Entropy Relation as an Alternative to MaxEnt [PDF]
Entropy, 2008 We show that, to generate the statistical operator appropriate for a given system, and as an alternative to Jaynes’ MaxEnt approach, that refers to the entropy S, one can use instead the increments ±S in S. To such an effect, one uses the macroscopic thermodynamic relation that links ±S to changes in i) the internal energy E and ii) the remaining M ...

Modeling Invasive Plant Species in Kenya’s Northern Rangelands
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2020 Kenya is composed of diverse geographic regions and is heavily impacted by climatic variability. Habitat heterogeneity has led to a diverse number of plants and animals. Invasive species, however, threaten this biodiversity. This study mapped the current
