Axiomatic derivation of the principle of maximum entropy and the principle of minimum cross-entropy
John E. Shore,R. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Jaynes's principle of maximum entropy and Kullbacks principle of minimum cross-entropy (minimum directed divergence) are shown to be uniquely correct methods for inductive inference when new information is given in the form of expected values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Properties of cross-entropy minimization
John E. Shore,R. Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: The principle of minimum cross-entropy (minimum directed divergence, minimum discrimination information) is a general method of inference about an unknown probability density when there exists a prior estimate of the density and new information in the form of constraints on expected values.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rate-distortion speech coding with a minimum discrimination information distortion measure
TL;DR: An information theory approach to the theory and practice of linear predictive coded speech compression systems is developed and it is shown that a traditional LPC system can be viewed as a minimum distortion or nearest-neighbor system where the distortion measure is a minimum discrimination information between a speech process model and an observed frame of actual speech.
Journal ArticleDOI
Minimum cross-entropy spectral analysis
TL;DR: This new method differs from previous methods in its explicit inclusion of a prior estimate of the power spectrum, and it reduces to maximum entropy spectral analysis as a special case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Letter-to-sound rules for automatic translation of english text to phonetics
TL;DR: This report describes the technical approach used and the support hardware and software developed, and gives overall performance figures, detailed statistics showing the importance of each rule, and listings of a translation program and another used in rule development.
