Shannon information theory provides various measures of so-called "syntactic information", which reflect the amount of statistical correlation between systems. In contrast, the concept of "semantic information" refers to those correlations…

There are (at least) three approaches to quantifying information. The first, algorithmic information or Kolmogorov complexity, takes events as strings and, given a universal Turing machine, quantifies the information content of a string as…

Most psychophysical experiments discard half the data collected. Specifically, experiments discard reaction time data, and use binary responses (e.g. yes/no) to measure performance. Here, Shannon's information theory is used to define…

Information theory has provided foundations for the theories of several application areas critical for modern society, including communications, computer storage, and AI. A key aspect of Shannon's 1948 theory is a sharp lower bound on the…

To improve communication efficiency and provide more useful information, we need to measure semantic information by combining inaccuracy or distortion, freshness, purposiveness, and efficiency. The author proposed the semantic information G…
