Mutual information, matroids and extremal dependencies

In this paper, it is shown that the rank function of a matroid can be represented by a “mutual information function” if and only if the matroid is binary. The mutual information function considered is the one measuring the amount of information between the inputs (binary uniform) and the output of a multiple access channel (MAC). Moreover, it is shown that a MAC whose mutual information functio...

Mutual Aid: An Introduction and Evaluation

Embodied Evolution and Evolution of Organisms

Before discussing the details of previous and similar systems it is useful to establish a framework for the type of systems in this thesis. A general scheme for traditional evolutionary robotics is displayed in Figure 2.1a. A population of μ candidates is maintained on an external computer. One by one each candidate genome is decoded into a controller and allowed to drive the robot a certain am...

The mutual information: Detecting and evaluating dependencies between variables

MOTIVATION Clustering co-expressed genes usually requires the definition of 'distance' or 'similarity' between measured datasets, the most common choices being Pearson correlation or Euclidean distance. With the size of available datasets steadily increasing, it has become feasible to consider other, more general, definitions as well. One alternative, based on information theory, is the mutual ...
