I am intrigued by the concept of a Maximum Entropy Markov Model (MEMM), and I am thinking
of using it for a Part of Speech (POS) tagger. At the moment, I am using a conventional
Maximum Entropy (ME) ...

HMM and CRF: the label bias problem and I-equivalence
I have a question about the label bias problem in HMM and CRF.
I understand that HMM and MEMM suffer from the label bias problem, which is a preference for states with fewer transitions. The problem ...

Is there any advantage of using MEMM instead of CRF for named-entity recognition?
I wonder whether there is any advantage of using maximum-entropy Markov model (MEMM), a.k.a. conditional Markov model (CMM) instead of using conditional random fields (CRF) for named-entity ...
