Maximum Entropy and the Glasses You Are Looking Through

Abstract

We give an interpretation of the Maxi­ mum Entropy (MaxEnt) Principle in game­ theoretic terms. Based on this interpretation, we make a formal distinction between differ­ ent ways of applying Maximum Entropy dis­ tributions. MaxEnt has frequently been crit­ icized on the grounds that it leads to highly representation dependent results. Our dis­ tinction allows us to avoid this problem in many cases.
