Perspective from Group Theory
Why does Deep Learning work? What representations does it capture? How do higher-order representations emerge? We study these questions from the perspective of group theory, thereby opening a new approach towards a theory of Deep learning. One factor behind the recent resurgence of the subject is a key algorithmic step called pretraining: first search for a good generative model for the input s...
متن کاملQuantum metrology from an information theory perspective
Questions about quantum limits on measurement precision were once viewed from the perspective of how to reduce or avoid the effects of quantum noise. With the advent of quantum information science came a paradigm shift to proving rigorous bounds on measurement precision. These bounds have been interpreted as saying, first, that the best achievable sensitivity scales as 1/n, where n is the numbe...
متن کاملAn information theory perspective on computational vision
This paper introduces computer vision from an information theory perspective. We discuss how vision can be thought of as a decoding problem where the goal is to find the most efficient encoding of the visual scene. This requires probabilistic models which are capable of capturing the complexity and ambiguities of natural images. We start by describing classic Markov Random Field (MRF) models of...
متن کاملThe Information Content of Accounting Reports: An Information Theory Perspective
Is it possible to quantify the information content of accounting reports? If possible, then how? This study examines accounting as a classical communication system with the purpose of providing a framework with which to approach these fundamentally important questions. Information theory was established in the early-mid 20th century to describe the properties of classical communication systems....
متن کاملHypothesis testing and information theory
The testing of binary hypotheses is developed from an information-theoretic point of view, and the asymptotic per formance of opt imum hypothesis testers is developed in exact analogy to the asymptotic per formance of opt imum channel codes. The discrimination, introduced by Kullback, is developed in a role analogous to that of mutual information iu channel coding theory. Based on the discrimin...
