Hi Matt,
I've now found and fixed some bugs in the conditional maxent code.
The computation of the conditional expectations was wrong, and the
p_tilde parameter was interpreted inconsistently. Both the examples
work now! Fantastic!
I'd be very grateful for any assistance you could give in providing
more examples -- especially real examples from text classification.
The two examples at the moment are too artificial and perhaps a bit
confusing. Or if you have any suggestions or patches for simplifying
the interface (e.g. the constructor arguments) or any other
improvements (e.g. bug fixes, better docs, or a tutorial) I'd also
readily merge them.
Let me know how you go with it. When you're happy that it's all
working, I'll merge it with the main SVN trunk.
