An Information Theoretic Characterisation of Auditory Encoding
The entropy metric derived from information theory provides a means to quantify the amount of information transmitted in acoustic streams like speech or music. By systematically varying the entropy of pitch sequences, we sought brain areas where neural activity and energetic demands increase as a function of entropy. Such a relationship is predicted to occur in an efficient encoding mechanism t...
متن کاملAn Information Theoretic Approach to the Study of Auditory Coding
This dissertation develops information theoretic tools to study properties of the neural code used by the auditory system, and applies them to electro-physiological recordings in three auditory processing stations: auditory cortex (AI), thalamus (MGB) and inferior colliculus (IC). It focuses on several aspects of the neural code: First, robust estimation of the information carried by spike trai...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Measures for Encoding Video
A method for analyzing a volume of video is presented and is used to design a hierarchical class of image coders. This thesis is based on the observation that no single image coder is optimal for all image sequences. The performance of any single coder varies over different regions of the same image as well as over sequence of images. Hence a class of hierarchically structured image coders is p...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Discussion of Convolutional Bottleneck Features for Robust Speech Recognition
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been shown their performance in speech recognition systems for extracting features, and also acoustic modeling. In addition, CNNs have been used for robust speech recognition and competitive results have been reported. Convolutive Bottleneck Network (CBN) is a kind of CNNs which has a bottleneck layer among its fully connected layers. The bottleneck fea...
متن کاملAn Information-Theoretic Analysis of the Security of Communication Systems Employing the Encoding-Encryption Paradigm
This paper proposes a generic approach for providing enhanced security to communication systems which encode their data for reliability before encrypting it through a stream cipher for security. We call this counter-intuitive technique the encoding-encryption paradigm, and use as motivating example the standard for mobile telephony GSM. The enhanced security is based on a dedicated homophonic o...
