For nonlinear supervised learning models, assessing the importance of predictor variables or their interactions is not straightforward because it can vary in the domain of the variables. Importance can be assessed locally with sensitivity…

R\'enyi entropies are conceptually valuable and experimentally relevant generalisations of the celebrated von Neumann entanglement entropy. After a quantum quench in a clean quantum many-body system they generically display a universal…

The quality of image encryption is commonly measured by the Shannon entropy over the ciphertext image. However, this measurement does not consider to the randomness of local image blocks and is inappropriate for scrambling based image…

We study convexity properties of R\'{e}nyi entropy as function of $\alpha>0$ on finite alphabets. We also describe robustness of the R\'{e}nyi entropy on finite alphabets, and it turns out that the rate of respective convergence depends on…
