We introduce the informational correlation $E^{AB}$ between two interacting quantum subsystems $A$ and $B$ of a quantum system as the number of arbitrary parameters $\varphi_i$ of a unitary transformation $U^A$ (locally performed on the…
Scientific knowledge develops through cumulative discoveries that build on, contradict, contextualize, or correct prior findings. Scientists and journalists often communicate these incremental findings to lay people through visualizations…
Multi-regional interaction among neuronal populations underlies the brain's processing of rich sensory information in our daily lives. Recent neuroscience and neuroimaging studies have increasingly used naturalistic stimuli and experimental…
The Partial Information Decomposition (PID) framework has emerged as a powerful tool for analyzing high-order interdependencies in complex network systems. However, its application to dynamic processes remains challenging due to the…
In various biological systems information from many noisy molecular receptors must be integrated into a collective response. A striking example is the thermal imaging organ of pit vipers. Single nerve fibers in the organ reliably respond to…
Neurons are spatially extended cells; different parts of a neuron have specific voltage dynamics. Important types of neurons even generate different spikes in different parts of the cell. Neurons' inputs are also often spatially…
Many complex systems can be represented as networks composed by distinct layers, interacting and depending on each others. For example, in biology, a good description of the full protein-protein interactome requires, for some organisms, up…
An outstanding problem in neuroscience is to understand how information is integrated across the many modules of the brain. While classic information-theoretic measures have transformed our understanding of feedforward information…
Cells use biochemical networks to translate environmental information into intracellular responses. These responses can be highly dynamic, but how the information is encoded in these dynamics remains poorly understood. Here we investigate…
Biological and artificial systems encode information through several complex nonlinear operations, making their exact study a formidable challenge. These internal mechanisms often take place across multiple timescales and process external…
Physiological signals are often organized in the form of multiple dimensions (e.g., channel, time, task, and 3D voxel), so it is better to preserve original organization structure when processing. Unlike vector-based methods that destroy…
What determines whether a molecular property prediction model organizes its representations so that geometric and compositional information can be cleanly separated? We introduce Compositional Probe Decomposition (CPD), which linearly…
A multiplex is a collection of network layers, each representing a specific type of edges. This appears to be a genuine representation for many real-world systems. However, due to a variety of potential factors, such as limited budget and…
Partial information decomposition (PID) of the multivariate mutual information describes the distinct ways in which a set of source variables contains information about a target variable. The groundbreaking work of Williams and Beer has…
Leveraging knowledge from multiple tasks through introducing a small number of task specific parameters into each transformer layer, also known as adapters, receives much attention recently. However, adding an extra fusion layer to…
We present a novel pyramidal output representation to ensure parsimony with our "specialize and fuse" process for semantic segmentation. A pyramidal "output" representation consists of coarse-to-fine levels, where each level is "specialize"…
In the field of brain science, data sharing across servers is becoming increasingly challenging due to issues such as industry competition, privacy security, and administrative procedure policies and regulations. Therefore, there is an…
The properties of complex networked systems arise from the interplay between the dynamics of their elements and the underlying topology. Thus, to understand their behaviour, it is crucial to convene as much information as possible about…
This brief note considers the problem of estimating temporal synergy and integrated information in dyadic dynamical processes. One of the standard estimators of dynamic synergy is based on the minimal mutual information between sets of…
How neurons integrate the myriad synaptic inputs scattered across their dendrites is a fundamental question in neuroscience. Multiple neurophysiological experiments have shown that dendritic non-linearities can have a strong influence on…
