We propose a compression-based version of the empirical entropy of a finite string over a finite alphabet. Whereas previously one considers the naked entropy of (possibly higher order) Markov processes, we consider the sum of the…

We consider query-based data acquisition and the corresponding information recovery problem, where the goal is to recover $k$ binary variables (information bits) from parity measurements of those variables. The queries and the corresponding…

This work explores the fundamental problem of the recoverability of a sparse tensor being reconstructed from its compressed embodiment. We present a generalized model of block-sparse tensor recovery as a theoretical foundation, where…

We develop a novel framework for costly information acquisition in which a decision-maker learns about an unobserved state by choosing a signal distribution, with the cost of information determined by the distribution of noise in the…

We try to establish a unified information theoretic approach to learning and to explore some of its applications. First, we define {\em predictive information} as the mutual information between the past and the future of a time series,…

Compressive sensing relies on the sparse prior imposed on the signal of interest to solve the ill-posed recovery problem in an under-determined linear system. The objective function used to enforce the sparse prior information should be…

Analysis of a probabilistic system often requires to learn the joint probability distribution of its random variables. The computation of the exact distribution is usually an exhaustive precise analysis on all executions of the system. To…

The paper presents an extension of Shannon fuzzy entropy for intuitionistic fuzzy one. Firstly, we presented a new formula for calculating the distance and similarity of intuitionistic fuzzy information. Then, we constructed measures for…

While most useful information theoretic inequalities can be deduced from the basic properties of entropy or mutual information, Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI) seems to be an exception: available information theoretic proofs of the…

We show that a rate of conditional Shannon entropy reduction, characterizing the learning of an internal process about an external process, is bounded by the thermodynamic entropy production. This approach allows for the definition of an…

This paper presents a fast model-agnostic method for recovering noisy Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) datastreams with missing entries. The measurements are first transformed into a Page matrix, and the original signals are reconstructed…

The simultaneous orthogonal matching pursuit (SOMP) is a popular, greedy approach for common support recovery of a row-sparse matrix. However, compared to the noiseless scenario, the performance analysis of noisy SOMP is still nascent,…

The information reconstruction problem on an infinite tree, is to collect and analyze massive data samples at the $n$th level of the tree to identify whether there is non-vanishing information of the root, as $n$ goes to infinity. This…

Complexity matching characterizes the role of information in interactions between systems and can be traced back to the 1957 Introduction to Cybernetics by Ross Ashby. We argue that complexity can be expressed in terms of crucial events,…
