CRF++ says it can:
"Can output marginal probabilities for all candidates" on its page: http://crfpp.sourceforge.net/
But what's the notation of the formula that's used to find these probabilities, in conditional random fields?
Someone told me it's not simply p(a|b)
, because conditional random fields use context from adjacent observations.
What exactly are these marginal probabilities?
The conditional probability is just p(y|x)
where y
is a sequence of labels and x
is the associated observed sequence.
The expression for this probability is just the softmax function \\exp( a_i ) / \\sum_{i'} \\exp ( a_{i'})
.
For a CRF, a_i
is a function of the label sequence a_i = w \\cdot \\phi(x,y)
, where \\phi(x,y)
is a feature vector derived from a sequence and its labels.
This means that the sum in the denominator is over the exponential number of possible labels, \\mathcal{Y}
:
\sum_{y' \in \mathcal{Y}} \exp ( w \cdot \phi(x,y) )
