Redundancy and Optimization of tANS Entropy Encoders

Entropy and Redundancy of Japanese Lexical and Syntactic Compound Verbs

The present study investigated Japanese lexical and syntactic compound verbs (V1þV2) using Shannon’s concept of entropy and redundancy calculated using corpora from the Mainichi Newspaper and a collection of selected novels. Comparing combinations of a V2 verb with various V1 verbs, syntactic compounds were higher in entropy than lexical ones while neither differed in redundancy. This result su...

Redundancy resolution of manipulators through torque optimization

Quantifying multivariate redundancy with maximum entropy decompositions of mutual information

Williams and Beer (2010) proposed a nonnegative mutual information decomposition, based on the construction of redundancy lattices, which allows separating the information that a set of variables contains about a target variable into nonnegative components interpretable as the unique information of some variables not provided by others as well as redundant and synergistic components. However, t...

Tans-scale Coupling in Multi-scale Simulation

The physics and mathematics involved in modeling of components of cardiovascular system is very different from that in many other engineering problems. For example, the blood flows in vessels with a deformable boundary (the viscoelastic walls of the vessel) that may require modeling of fluid and tissue interaction and for smaller arteries, the non-Newtonian nature of the blood requires special ...

Groundwater Monitoring Network Optimization with Redundancy Reduction

Three optimization models are proposed to select the best subset of stations from a large groundwater monitoring network: ~1! one that maximizes spatial accuracy; ~2! one that minimizes temporal redundancy; and ~3! a model that both maximizes spatial accuracy and minimizes temporal redundancy. The proposed optimization models are solved with simulated annealing, along with an algorithm parametr...
