Prior Probabilities: an Information-theoretic Approach
Abstract. General theoretical principles that enable the derivation of prior probabilities are of interest both in practical data analysis and, more broadly, in the foundations of probability theory. In this paper, it is shown that the general rule for the assignment of priors proposed by Jeffreys can be obtained from, and is logically equivalent to, an intuitively reasonable information-theore...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Approach to Data Mining
The Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process is defined by Fayyad et al. [5] as “the nontrivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data”. Since the potential number of patterns presenting in a real-world database (containing, at least, tens of attributes and thousands of records) may be nearly infinite, most data mining techn...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Approach to Network Modularity
Exploiting recent developments in information theory, we propose, illustrate, and validate a principled information-theoretic algorithm for module discovery and resulting measure of network modularity. This measure is an order parameter (a dimensionless number between 0 and 1). Comparison is made to other approaches to module-discovery and to quantifying network modularity using Monte Carlo gen...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Approach to Interest Matching
The Internet has brought a new meaning to the term communities. Geography is no longer a barrier to international communications. However, the paradigm of meeting new interesting people remains entrenched in traditional means; meeting new interesting people on the Internet still relies on chance and contacts. This thesis explores a new approach towards matching users in online communities in an...
