A Functional Perspective on Information Measures

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 ...

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

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Erixhen Sula

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 ...

Feedback and Common Information: Bounds and Capacity for Gaussian Networks

Erixhen Sula

Network information theory studies the communication of information in a network and considers its fundamental limits. Motivating from the extensive presence of the networks in the daily life, the thesis studies the fundamental limits of particular network ...

Common Information Components Analysis

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Erixhen Sula

Wyner's common information is a measure that quantifies and assesses the commonality between two random variables. Based on this, we introduce a novel two-step procedure to construct features from data, referred to as Common Information Components Analysis ...

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 ...

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 for low-rank even-order symmetric tensor estimation

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Clément Dominique Luneau

We consider a statistical model for finite-rank symmetric tensor factorization and prove a single-letter variational expression for its asymptotic mutual information when the tensor is of even order. The proof applies the adaptive interpolation method orig ...

Robust Generalization via f−Mutual Information

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

Given two probability measures P and Q and an event E, we provide bounds on P(E) in terms of Q(E) and f-divergences. In particular, the bounds are instantiated when the measures considered are a joint distribution and the corresponding product of marginals ...
