Dependence among marginally constrained observations can break a finite-sample barrier. To formalize this phenomenon, we introduce the \emph{minimum list entropy coupling} $H(P\|Q_1,\dots,Q_m)$, the minimum conditional entropy…
Token-level reweighting is a simple yet effective mechanism for controlling supervised fine-tuning, but common indicators are largely one-dimensional: the ground-truth probability reflects downstream alignment, while token entropy reflects…
Entropy rate of sequential data-streams naturally quantifies the complexity of the generative process. Thus entropy rate fluctuations could be used as a tool to recognize dynamical perturbations in signal sources, and could potentially be…
