Title
Maximum Entropy Tagging with Binary and Real-Valued Features
Abstract
Recent literature on text-tagging reported successful results by applying Maximum Entropy (ME) models. In general, ME taggers rely on carefully selected binary features, which try to capture discrimi- nant information from the training data. This paper introduces a standard setting of binary features, inspired by the litera- ture on named-entity recognition and text chunking, and derives corresponding real- valued features based on smoothed log- probabilities. The resulting ME models have orders of magnitude fewer parame- ters. Effective use of training data to esti- mate features and parameters is achieved by integrating a leaving-one-out method into the standard ME training algorithm. Experimental results on two tagging tasks show statistically significant performance gains after augmenting standard binary- feature models with real-valued features.
