On Information and Sufficiency

Probabilistic Sufficiency and Algorithmic Sufficiency from the point of view of Information Theory

‎Given the importance of Markov chains in information theory‎, ‎the definition of conditional probability for these random processes can also be defined in terms of mutual information‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎the relationship between the concept of sufficiency and Markov chains from the perspective of information theory and the relationship between probabilistic sufficiency and algorithmic sufficien...

Φ - Divergences , Sufficiency , Bayes Sufficiency , and Deficiency

The paper studies the relations between φ-divergences and fundamental concepts of decision theory such as sufficiency, Bayes sufficiency, and LeCam’s deficiency. A new and considerably simplified approach is given to the spectral representation of φ-divergences already established in Österreicher and Feldman [28] under restrictive conditions and in Liese and Vajda [22], [23] in the general form...

Consciousness and Attention: On Sufficiency and Necessity

Recent research has slowly corroded a belief that selective attention and consciousness are so tightly entangled that they cannot be individually examined. In this review, we summarize psychophysical and neurophysiological evidence for a dissociation between top-down attention and consciousness. The evidence includes recent findings that show subjects can attend to perceptually invisible object...

on the relationship between different discourse markers and information-gap and reasoning-gap tasks, and the effectiveness of input enhancement type of instruction on students acquisition of discourse markers.

abstract tasks nowadays are at the center of attention in sla research. task types is one of the critical issues in this regard, their effectiveness and suitability to any particular context, their characteristics and the result they yield are among some of these issues. on the other hand, discourse markers (dms) have been very much investigated and their effectiveness in conveying the meaning...
