"""
A classifier model based on maximum entropy modeling framework.  This
framework considers all of the probability distributions that are
empirically consistent with the training data; and chooses the
distribution with the highest entropy.  A probability distribution is
"empirically consistent" with a set of training data if its estimated
frequency with which a class and a feature vector value co-occur is
equal to the actual frequency in the data.

Terminology: 'feature'
======================
The term *feature* is usually used to refer to some property of an
unlabeled token.  For example, when performing word sense
disambiguation, we might define a ``'prevword'`` feature whose value is
the word preceding the target word.  However, in the context of
maxent modeling, the term *feature* is typically used to refer to a
property of a "labeled" token.  In order to prevent confusion, we
will introduce two distinct terms to disambiguate these two different
concepts:

  - An "input-feature" is a property of an unlabeled token.
  - A "joint-feature" is a property of a labeled token.

In the rest of the ``nltk.classify`` module, the term "features" is
used to refer to what we will call "input-features" in this module.

In literature that describes and discusses maximum entropy models,
input-features are typically called "contexts", and joint-features
are simply referred to as "features".

Converting Input-Features to Joint-Features
-------------------------------------------
In maximum entropy models, joint-features are required to have numeric
values.  Typically, each input-feature ``input_feat`` is mapped to a
set of joint-features of the form:

|   joint_feat(token, label) = { 1 if input_feat(token) == feat_val
|                              {      and label == some_label
|                              {
|                              { 0 otherwise

For all values of ``feat_val`` and ``some_label``.  This mapping is
performed by classes that implement the ``MaxentFeatureEncodingI``
interface.

    |                      {

    Value (for integer and float features):

    |  joint_feat(fs, l) = { fval if     (fs[fname] == type(fval))

    |                      {
    |                      { not encoded otherwise

    Where ``fname`` is the name of an input-feature, ``fval`` is a value
    for that input-feature, and ``label`` is a label.

    Typically, these features are constructed based on a training
    corpus, using the ``train()`` method.

    For string and boolean features [type(fval) not in (int, float)]
    this method will create one feature for each combination of
    ``fname``, ``fval``, and ``label`` that occurs at least once in the
    training corpus.

    For integer and float features [type(fval) in (int, float)] this
    method will create one feature for each combination of ``fname``
    and ``label`` that occurs at least once in the training corpus.

    For binary features the ``unseen_features`` parameter can be used
    to add "unseen-value features", which are used whenever an input
    feature has a value that was not encountered in the training
    corpus.  These features have the form:

    |  joint_feat(fs, l) = { 1 if is_unseen(fname, fs[fname])
    |                      {      and l == label
    |                      {
    |                      { 0 otherwise

    Where ``is_unseen(fname, fval)`` is true if the encoding does not
    contain any joint features that are true when ``fs[fname]==fval``.

    The ``alwayson_features`` parameter can be used to add "always-on
    features", which have the form:

    |  joint_feat(fs, l) = { 1 if (l == label)
    |                      {
    |                      { 0 otherwise

    These always-on features allow the maxent model to directly model
    the prior probabilities of each label.
