Function Identification in Neuron Populations via Information Bottleneck
It is plausible to hypothesize that the spiking responses of certain neurons represent functions of the spiking signals of other neurons. A natural ensuing question concerns how to use experimental data to infer what kind of a function is being computed. Model-based approaches typically require assumptions on how information is represented. By contrast, information measures are sensitive only t...
متن کاملA Spiking Neuron as Information Bottleneck
Neurons receive thousands of presynaptic input spike trains while emitting a single output spike train. This drastic dimensionality reduction suggests considering a neuron as a bottleneck for information transmission. Extending recent results, we propose a simple learning rule for the weights of spiking neurons derived from the information bottleneck (IB) framework that minimizes the loss of re...
متن کاملOptimal Kullback-Leibler Aggregation via Information Bottleneck
In this paper, we present a method for reducing a regular, discrete-time Markov chain (DTMC) to another DTMC with a given, typically much smaller number of states. The cost of reduction is defined as the Kullback–Leibler divergence rate between a projection of the original process through a partition function and a DTMC on the correspondingly partitioned state space. Finding the reduced model w...
متن کاملDiscrete profile alignment via constrained information bottleneck
Amino acid profiles, which capture position-specific mutation probabilities, are a richer encoding of biological sequences than the individual sequences themselves. However, profile comparisons are much more computationally expensive than discrete symbol comparisons, making profiles impractical for many large datasets. Furthermore, because they are such a rich representation, profiles can be di...
متن کاملBottleneck Identification and Forecasting in Traveler Information Systems
Major urban areas experience active bottlenecks on a regular basis. Recently, the US Federal Highway Administration launched a new initiative aimed at identifying key bottlenecks in each state. In Oregon, a regional archive of freeway data from inductive loop detectors (PORTAL) is currently leveraging bottleneck identification and prioritization efforts. In addition to products that are attract...
