摘要翻译：
最近在数据挖掘及相关领域的工作已经突出了对数据挖掘结果进行统计评估的重要性。这一努力的关键是为数据选择一个非平凡的空模型，可以将发现的模式与之进行对比。迄今为止最有影响的零模型都是根据零分布的不变量定义的。这种零模型可以被计算密集的随机化方法用于估计数据挖掘结果的统计显著性。在这里，我们介绍了一种基于最大熵原理构造非平凡概率模型的方法。我们展示了MaxEnt模型如何允许先验信息的自然合并。此外，它们满足了以前引入的随机化方法的许多理想性质。最后，它们还有一个好处，那就是它们可以被明确地表达出来。我们认为我们的方法可以用于各种数据类型。但是，为了具体起见，我们选择特别针对数据库和网络来演示它。

英文摘要：
  Recent work in data mining and related areas has highlighted the importance of the statistical assessment of data mining results. Crucial to this endeavour is the choice of a non-trivial null model for the data, to which the found patterns can be contrasted. The most influential null models proposed so far are defined in terms of invariants of the null distribution. Such null models can be used by computation intensive randomization approaches in estimating the statistical significance of data mining results.   Here, we introduce a methodology to construct non-trivial probabilistic models based on the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle. We show how MaxEnt models allow for the natural incorporation of prior information. Furthermore, they satisfy a number of desirable properties of previously introduced randomization approaches. Lastly, they also have the benefit that they can be represented explicitly. We argue that our approach can be used for a variety of data types. However, for concreteness, we have chosen to demonstrate it in particular for databases and networks.
