Autonomy: An information theoretic perspective
We present a tentative proposal for a quantitative measure of autonomy. This is something that, surprisingly, is rarely found in the literature, even though autonomy is considered to be a basic concept in many disciplines, including artificial life. We work in an information theoretic setting for which the distinction between system and environment is the starting point. As a first measure for ...
متن کاملNOMA: An Information Theoretic Perspective
In this letter, the performance of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) is investigated from an information theoretic perspective. The relationships among the capacity region of broadcast channels and two rate regions achieved by NOMA and time-division multiple access (TDMA) are illustrated first. Then, the performance of NOMA is evaluated by considering TDMA as the benchmark, where both the s...
متن کاملSynaptic Transmission: An Information-Theoretic Perspective
Here we analyze synaptic transmission from an infonnation-theoretic perspective. We derive c1osed-fonn expressions for the lower-bounds on the capacity of a simple model of a cortical synapse under two explicit coding paradigms. Under the "signal estimation" paradigm, we assume the signal to be encoded in the mean firing rate of a Poisson neuron. The perfonnance of an optimal linear estimator o...

متن کاملHow Many Clusters? An Information-Theoretic Perspective
Clustering provides a common means of identifying structure in complex data, and there is renewed interest in clustering as a tool for the analysis of large data sets in many fields. A natural question is how many clusters are appropriate for the description of a given system. Traditional approaches to this problem are based on either a framework in which clusters of a particular shape are assu...
