We study the flow of information and the evolution of internal representations during deep neural network (DNN) training, aiming to demystify the compression aspect of the information bottleneck theory. The theory suggests that DNN training…
The human brain is liable to undergo substantial alterations, anatomically and functionally with aging. Cognitive brain aging can either be healthy or degenerative in nature. Such degeneration of cognitive ability can lead to disorders such…
In nervous system information is conveyed by sequence of action potentials (spikes-trains). As MacKay and McCulloch proposed, spike-trains can be represented as bits sequences coming from Information Sources. Previously, we studied…
