Neural-Network Maxent: a general extension with learned nonlinearity, applied to time-series for Desert Locust distribution modelling
RNN Maxent is introduced, an extension of the Maxent framework that replaces the fixed feature dictionary with a neural network, specifically a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), trained end to end via backpropagation, differing only in that the nonlinearity is learned from data rather than fixed in advance.
