Sensor placement approaches in networks often involve using information-theoretic measures such as entropy and mutual information. We prove that mutual information abides by submodularity and is non-decreasing when considering the mutual…
We reaffirm the claim of Lee et al. [preceding Comment, Phys. Rev. A 108, 066401 (2023)] that the expression of quantum dual total correlation of a multipartite system in terms of quantum relative entropy as proposed in previous work [A.…

Normalized mutual information is widely used as a similarity measure for evaluating the performance of clustering and classification algorithms. In this paper, we argue that results returned by the normalized mutual information are biased…
Mutual information (MI) is a useful information-theoretic measure to quantify the statistical dependence between two random variables: $X$ and $Y$. Often, we are interested in understanding how the dependence between $X$ and $Y$ in one set…

The mutual information between two jointly distributed random variables $X$ and $Y$ is a functional of the joint distribution $P_{XY},$ which is sometimes difficult to handle or estimate. A coarser description of the statistical behavior of…

We use a well known model (T. Vicsek et al. Phys Rev Lett 15, 1226 (1995)) for flocking to test mutual information as a tool for detecting order-disorder transitions, in particular when observations of the system are limited. We show that…
We point out a limitation of the mutual information neural estimation (MINE) where the network fails to learn at the initial training phase, leading to slow convergence in the number of training iterations. To solve this problem, we propose…
Obtaining meaningful quantitative descriptions of the statistical dependence within multivariate systems is a difficult open problem. Recently, the Partial Information Decomposition (PID) was proposed to decompose mutual information (MI)…
Information theoretic measures have helped to sharpen our understanding of many-body quantum states. As perhaps the most well-known example, the entanglement entropy (or more generally, the bipartite mutual information) has become a…
In distributional semantics, the pointwise mutual information ($\mathit{PMI}$) weighting of the cooccurrence matrix performs far better than raw counts. There is, however, an issue with unobserved pair cooccurrences as $\mathit{PMI}$ goes…
An information theoretic measure is derived that quantifies the statistical coherence between systems evolving in time. The standard time delayed mutual information fails to distinguish information that is actually exchanged from shared…
A practical use of the entanglement entropy in a 1d quantum system is to identify the conformal field theory describing its critical behavior. It is exactly $(c/3)\ln \ell$ for an interval of length $\ell$ in an infinite system, where $c$…

We provide a mutual information lower bound that can be used to analyze the effect of training in models with unknown parameters. For large-scale systems, we show that this bound can be calculated using the difference between two…
