The Gray-Wyner Network and Wyner's Common Information for Gaussian Sources

This paper presents explicit solutions for two related non-convex information extremization problems due to Gray and Wyner in the Gaussian case. The first problem is the Gray-Wyner network subject to a sum-rate constraint on the two private links. Here, ou ...

A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

Amedeo Roberto Esposito

Since the birth of Information Theory, researchers have defined and exploited various information measures, as well as endowed them with operational meanings. Some were born as a "solution to a problem", like Shannon's Entropy and Mutual Information. Other ...

Mutual information in changing environments: Nonlinear interactions, out-of-equilibrium systems, and continuously varying diffusivities

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Biochemistry, ecology, and neuroscience are examples of prominent fields aiming at describing interacting systems that exhibit nontrivial couplings to complex, ever-changing environments. We have recently shown that linear interactions and a switching envi ...

A Comparison of optimal measurement-system design with engineering judgement for bridge load testing

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola

Due to conservative approaches in construction design and practice, infrastructure often has hidden reserve capacity. When quantified, this reserve has potential to improve decisions related to asset management. Field measurements, collected through load t ...

Mutual Information Disentangles Interactions from Changing Environments

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are characterized by complex interactions of their internal degrees of freedom, while living in ever-changing environments whose net effect is to act as additional couplings. Here, we introduce a paradigmatic interacting model in a switc ...

Performance guarantees of forward and reverse greedy algorithms for minimizing nonsupermodular nonsubmodular functions on a matroid

Maryam Kamgarpour, Orcun Karaca

This letter studies the problem of minimizing increasing set functions, equivalently, maximizing decreasing set functions, over the base matroid. This setting has received great interest, since it generalizes several applied problems including actuator and ...

Actuator Placement under Structural Controllability using Forward and Reverse Greedy Algorithms

Maryam Kamgarpour, Tyler Summers, Baiwei Guo, Orcun Karaca

Actuator placement is an active field of research which has received significant attention for its applications in complex dynamical networks. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a set of actuator placements minimizing the metric that measures t ...

Strengthened Information-theoretic Bounds on the Generalization Error

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

The following problem is considered: given a joint distribution P XY and an event E, bound P XY (E) in terms of P X P Y (E) (where P X P Y is the product of the marginals of P XY ) and a measure of dependence of X and Y. Such bounds have direct application ...

Mutual Information for the Stochastic Block Model by the Adaptive Interpolation Method

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Chun Lam Chan

We rigorously derive a single-letter variational expression for the mutual information of the asymmetric two-groups stochastic block model in the dense graph regime. Existing proofs in the literature are indirect, as they involve mapping the model to a ran ...
