Shannon information theory aims at finding fundamental limits for storage and communication, including rates of convergence to these limits. Indeed, many interesting information theoretic phenomena seem to appear in the second order asymptotics. So we first discuss precise analysis of the minimax redundancy that can be viewed as a measure of learnable or useful information. Then we highlight Ma...

I dare say that there is no other IEEE society that is a more purely volunteer society than the Information Theory Society. Our society has no staff, and is basically run out of the back pockets of a large number of dedicated and highly responsible volunteers. Moreover, I believe that there is no other IEEE society in which the principal volunteers are so often the principal technical contribut...

The manual design of control systems for robotic devices can be challenging. Methods for the automatic synthesis of control systems, such as the evolution of artificial neural networks, are thus widely used in the robotics community. However, in many robotic tasks where multiple interdependent control problems have to be solved simultaneously, the performance of conventional neuroevolution tech...

In this paper, we show how a simulated humanoid robot controlled by an artificial neural network can acquire the ability to manipulate spherical objects located over a table by reaching, grasping, and lifting them. The robot controller is developed through an adaptive process in which the free parameters encode the control rules that regulate the fine-grained interaction between the agent and t...
