Abstract

In this paper we present a comprehensive Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt) procedure for the classification tasks. This MaxEnt is applied successfully to the problem of estimating the probability distribution function (pdf) of a class with a specific pattern. which is viewed as a probabilistic model handling the classification task. We propose an efficient algorithm allowing to construct a non-linear discriminating surfaces using the MaxEnt procedure. The experiments that we carried out shows the performance and the various advantages of our approach.
