We investigate certain optimization problems for Shannon information measures, namely, minimization of joint and conditional entropies $H(X,Y)$, $H(X|Y)$, $H(Y|X)$, and maximization of mutual information $I(X;Y)$, over convex regions. When…

In a topological dynamical system the complexity of an orbit is a measure of the amount of information (algorithmic information content) that is necessary to describe the orbit. This indicator is invariant up to topological conjugation. We…

Deploying LLMs raises two coupled challenges: (1) monitoring--estimating where a model underperforms as traffic and domains drift--and (2) improvement--prioritizing data acquisition to close the largest performance gaps. We test whether an…

Complexity matching characterizes the role of information in interactions between systems and can be traced back to the 1957 Introduction to Cybernetics by Ross Ashby. We argue that complexity can be expressed in terms of crucial events,…
