As a very fundamental principle in quantum physics, uncertainty principle has been studied intensively via various uncertainty inequalities. Based on the information measure introduced by Brukner and Zeilinger in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 3354…

Uncertainty sampling is a prevalent active learning algorithm that queries sequentially the annotations of data samples which the current prediction model is uncertain about. However, the usage of uncertainty sampling has been largely…

All measurements of continuous signals rely on taking discrete snapshots, with the Nyquist-Shannon theorem dictating sampling paradigms. We present a broader framework of information-optimal measurement, showing that traditional sampling is…

Compressed sensing provided a data-acquisition paradigm for sparse signals. Remarkably, it has been shown that practical algorithms provide robust recovery from noisy linear measurements acquired at a near optimal sampling rate. In many…
