An important branch of computer vision is image segmentation. Image segmentation aims at extracting meaningful objects lying in images either by dividing images into contiguous semantic regions, or by extracting one or more specific objects in images such ...
We present a method that exploits an information theoretic framework to extract optimized audio features using the video information. A simple measure of mutual information (MI) between the resulting audio features and the video ones allows to detect the a ...
Maximization of information transmission by a spiking-neuron model predicts changes of synaptic connections that depend on timing of pre- and postsynaptic spikes and on the postsynaptic membrane potential. Under the assumption of Poisson firing statistics, ...
We propose a method to encode a 3D magnetic resonance image data and a decoder in such way that fast access to any 2D image is possible by decoding only the corresponding information from each subband image and thus provides minimum decoding time. This wil ...
Recently, we introduced a simple variational bound on mutual information, that resolves some of the difficulties in the application of information theory to machine learning. Here we study a specific application to Gaussian channels. It is well known that ...
In this paper we determine bounds of the capacity region of a two-user multiple-access channel with Rayleigh fading when neither the transmitters nor the receiver has channel state information (CSI). We assume that the fading coefficients as well as the ad ...
The goal of neural processing assemblies is varied, and in many cases still rather unclear. However, a possibly reasonable subgoal is that sensory information may be encoded efficiently in a population of neurons. In this context, Mutual Information is a l ...
In this paper, we investigate by means of statistical and information-theoretic measures, to what extent sensory-motor coordinated activity can generate and structure information in the sensory channels of a simulated agent interacting with its surrounding ...
In this paper we determine bounds of the capacity region of a two-user multiple-access channel with Rayleigh fading when neither the transmitters nor the receiver has channel state information (CSI). We assume that the fading coefficients as well as the ad ...
Mutual information is an attractive registration criterion because it provides a meaningful comparison of images that represent different physical properties. In this paper, we review the shortcomings of three published methods for its computation. We iden ...
