Computational depth: Concept and applications

We introduce Computational Depth, a measure for the amount of “nonrandom” or “useful” information in a string by considering the difference of various Kolmogorov complexity measures. We investigate three instantiations of Computational Depth: – Basic Computational Depth, a clean notion capturing the spirit of Bennett’s Logical Depth. We show that a Turing machine M runs in time polynomial on av...
