Although numerical simulation in lattice field theory is one of the most effective tools to study non-perturbative properties of field theories, it faces serious obstacles coming from the sign problem in some theories such as finite density QCD and lattice field theory with the $\theta$ term. We reconsider this problem from the point of view of the maximum entropy method.
Keywords: lattice field theory; sign problem; maximum entropy method.
