Metabolically Efficient Information Processing
Energy-efficient information transmission may be relevant to biological sensory signal processing as well as to low-power electronic devices. We explore its consequences in two different regimes. In an "immediate" regime, we argue that the information rate should be maximized subject to a power constraint, and in an "exploratory" regime, the transmission rate per power cost should be maximized....
متن کاملEfficient optical quantum information processing
Quantum information offers the promise of being able to perform certain communication and computation tasks that cannot be done with conventional information technology (IT). Optical Quantum Information Processing (QIP) holds particular appeal, since it offers the prospect of communicating and computing with the same type of qubit. Linear optical techniques have been shown to be scalable, but t...
متن کاملEfficient Representation and Processing of Incomplete Information
Database systems often have to deal with incomplete information as the world they model is not always complete. This is a frequent case in data integration applications, scientific databases, or in scenarios where information is manually entered and contains errors or ambiguity. In the last couple of decades different formalisms have been proposed for representing incomplete information. These ...
متن کاملMetabolically Efficient Codes in The Retina
We tested the hypothesis that the neural code of retinal ganglion cells is optimized to transmit visual information at minimal metabolic cost. Under a broad ensemble of light patterns, ganglion cell spike trains consisted of sparse, precise bursts of spikes. These bursts were viewed as independent neural symbols. The noise in each burst was measured via repeated presentation of the visual stimu...
متن کاملExploiting Run-Time Information for Efficient Processing of Queries
Information agents answer user queries using a large number of diverse information sources. The key issue in their perfomance is finding the set of information sources relevant to a query. Previous work has considered determining relevance soley based on compile-time analysis of the query. We argue that at compile-time, it is often not possible to significantly prune the set of sources relevant...
