In a recent work we have introduced a novel approach to study the effect of weak non-linearities in the transfer function on the information transmitted by an analogue channel, by means of a perturbative diagrammatic expansion. We extend…

Multilayer (or deep) networks are powerful probabilistic models based on multiple stages of a linear transform followed by a non-linear (possibly random) function. In general, the linear transforms are defined by matrices and the non-linear…

Applying perturbation theory to the path-integral representation for the mutual information of the nonlinear communication channel described by the nonlinear Shr\"{o}dinger equation (NLSE) with the additive Gaussian noise we analyze the…

A general theory of nonlinear signal-noise interactions for wavelength division multiplexed fiber-optic coherent transmission systems is presented. This theory is based on the regular perturbation treatment of the nonlinear Schrodinger…

In both natural and engineered systems, communication often occurs dynamically over networks ranging from highly structured grids to largely disordered graphs. To use, or comprehend the use of, networks as efficient communication media…

We consider the information fiber optical channel modeled by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation with additive Gaussian noise. Using path-integral approach and perturbation theory for the small dimensionless parameter of the second…

Information theory is a practical and theoretical framework developed for the study of communication over noisy channels. Its probabilistic basis and capacity to relate statistical structure to function make it ideally suited for studying…

High-throughput data analyses are becoming common in biology, communications, economics and sociology. The vast amounts of data are usually represented in the form of matrices and can be considered as knowledge networks. Spectra-based…

Reconstructing the structural connectivity between interacting units from observed activity is a challenge across many different disciplines. The fundamental first step is to establish whether or to what extent the interactions between the…

Reconstructing noise-driven nonlinear networks from time series of output variables is a challenging problem, which turns to be very difficult when nonlinearity of dynamics, strong noise impacts and low measurement frequencies jointly…

Understanding neural networks is becoming increasingly important. Over the last few years different types of visualisation and explanation methods have been proposed. However, none of them explicitly considered the behaviour in the presence…

Convolutional neural networks are witnessing wide adoption in computer vision systems with numerous applications across a range of visual recognition tasks. Much of this progress is fueled through advances in convolutional neural network…

The generalization properties of an attractive network of non monotonic neurons which infers concepts from samples are studied. The macroscopic dynamics for the overlap between the state of the neurons with the concepts, well as the…

Nonlinear diffusion is studied in the presence of multiplicative noise. The nonlinearity can be viewed as a ``wall'' limiting the motion of the diffusing field. A dynamic phase transition occurs when the system ``unbinds'' from the wall.…

We describe how noise propagates through a network by calculating the variance of the outputs. Using stochastic calculus and dynamical systems theory, we study the network topologies that accentuate or alleviate the effect of random…

The paper examines the discrete-time dynamics of neuron models (of excitatory and inhibitory types) with piecewise linear activation functions, which are connected in a network. The properties of a pair of neurons (one excitatory and the…

The interplay between nonlinear dynamic systems and noise has proved to be of great relevance in several application areas. In this presentation, we focus on the areas of information transmission and storage. We review some recent results…

Nonlinearities can be introduced into communication systems by the physical components such as the power amplifier, or during signal propagation through a nonlinear channel. These nonlinearities can be compensated by a nonlinear equalizer…

We study and analyze the fundamental aspects of noise propagation in recurrent as well as deep, multi-layer networks. The main focus of our study are neural networks in analogue hardware, yet the methodology provides insight for networks in…

Linear regression on network-linked observations has been an essential tool in modeling the relationship between response and covariates with additional network structures. Previous methods either lack inference tools or rely on restrictive…
