We show that for the continuous features the weights should be continuous functions instead of single values. We propose a spline interpolation based solution to the optimization problem that contains continuous weights and illustrate that the optimization problem can be converted into a standard log-linear one without continuous weights at a higher-dimensional space.}, publisher = {Microsoft}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/the-maximum-entropy-model-with-continuous-features/}, edition = {2008 NIPS Workshop, Whistler, BC, Canada, NIPS Workshop, Whistler, BC, Canada}, }
