MaxEnt
Maximum Entropy
(MaxEnt) is a principle used in
statistical mechanics
and
machine learning
for making predictions or inferences under uncertainty, by selecting the
probability distribution
that
maximizes entropy
subject to
given constraints
. It embodies the idea of being
maximally non-committal
to
missing information
, ensuring that no
unwarranted assumptions
are made beyond what is known.
