Calculating the Likelihood of A Tag Sequence

[Adel Ardalan <ad...@cs.wisc.edu>]

Hi All,

   I have trained a Max Ent NER model (NameFinderME) and now I'm trying to
find the likelihood of a tag sequence for an input sequence. I tried
delving into the code and finding how the features are stored so I can
calculate the score of the tag path, but the feature formats look VERY
cryptic! So I was wondering whether anyone knows of an easier way of
calculating this score. More precisely, given a model M, a string S (with n
tokens) and a tag sequence T of length n, I want to retrieve the score M
assigns to T for S.

Appreciate any help in advance
