Algorithmic entropy and Shannon entropy are two conceptually different information measures, as the former is based on size of programs and the later in probability distributions. However, it is known that, for any recursive probability…
In this article we introduce an entropy-based, scale-dependent centrality that is evaluated as the Shannon entropy of the distribution at time t of a continuous-time random walk. It ranks nodes as a function of the time t, which acts as a…
We consider an isomorphism invariant for measure-preserving systems - types of generalized entropy convergence rates. We show the connections of this invariant with the types of Shannon entropy convergence rates. In the case when they…
Persistent entropy (PE) is an information-theoretic summary statistic of persistence barcodes that has been widely used to detect regime changes in complex systems. Despite its empirical success, a general theoretical understanding of when…
In the evolving landscape of data science, the accurate quantification of clustering in high-dimensional data sets remains a significant challenge, especially in the absence of predefined labels. This paper introduces a novel approach, the…
The Shannon entropy is a widely used summary statistic, for example, network traffic measurement, anomaly detection, neural computations, spike trains, etc. This study focuses on estimating Shannon entropy of data streams. It is known that…
Neural networks have dramatically increased our capacity to learn from large, high-dimensional datasets across innumerable disciplines. However, their decisions are not easily interpretable, their computational costs are high, and building…
We investigate the relative information efficiency of financial markets by measuring the entropy of the time series of high frequency data. Our tool to measure efficiency is the Shannon entropy, applied to 2-symbol and 3-symbol…
The notion of slow entropy, both upper and lower slow entropy, was defined by Katok and Thouvenot as a more refined measure of complexity for dynamical systems, than the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. For any subexponential rate…
Entropy is useful in statistical problems as a measure of irreversibility, randomness, mixing, dispersion, and number of microstates. However, there remains ambiguity over the precise mathematical formulation of entropy, generalized beyond…

The cross entropy (CE) method is a model based search method to solve optimization problems where the objective function has minimal structure. The Monte-Carlo version of the CE method employs the naive sample averaging technique which is…
The method of Maximum (relative) Entropy (ME) is used to translate the information contained in the known form of the likelihood into a prior distribution for Bayesian inference. The argument is guided by intuition gained from the…

Learning directionality between variables is crucial yet challenging, especially for mechanistic relationships without a priori ordering assumptions. We propose a coefficient of asymmetry to quantify directional asymmetry using Shannon's…
We propose a new way to measure the balance between freedom and coherence in a dynamical system and a new measure of its internal variability. Based on the concept of entropy and ideas from neuroscience and information theory, we define…
Random number generation plays a vital role in cryptographic systems and computational applications, where uniformity, unpredictability, and robustness are essential. This paper presents the Entropy Mixing Network (EMN), a novel hybrid…
Stochastic blockmodels are generative network models where the vertices are separated into discrete groups, and the probability of an edge existing between two vertices is determined solely by their group membership. In this paper, we…
