The Semantics Latent in Shannon Information
The lore is that standard information theory provides an analysis of information quantity, but not of information content. I argue this lore is incorrect, that there is an adequate informational semantics latent in standard theory. The roots of this notion of content can be traced to the secret parallel development of an information theory equivalent to Shannon’s by Turing at Bletchley Park, an...
متن کاملHierarchical Fuzzy Clustering Semantics (HFCS) in Web Document for Discovering Latent Semantics
This paper discusses about the future of the World Wide Web development, called Semantic Web. Undoubtedly, Web service is one of the most important services on the Internet, which has had the greatest impact on the generalization of the Internet in human societies. Internet penetration has been an effective factor in growth of the volume of information on the Web. The massive growth of informat...
متن کاملWhat is Shannon information?
entity; it is always tied to a physical representation. It is represented by engraving on a stone tablet, a spin, a charge, a hole in a punched card, a mark on a paper, or some other equivalent.” (1996, p. 188; see also Landauer 1991). This view is also adopted by some philosophers of science; for instance, Peter Kosso states that “information is transferred between states through interaction.”...
متن کاملLatent semantics in language models
This paper investigates three different sources of information and their integration into language modelling. Global semantics is modelled by Latent Dirichlet Allocation and brings long range dependencies into language models. Word clusters given by semantic spaces enrich these language models with short range semantics. Finally, our own stemming algorithm is used to further enhance the perform...
متن کاملMultivariate Dependence beyond Shannon Information
Accurately determining dependency structure is critical to discovering a system’s causal organization. We recently showed that the transfer entropy fails in a key aspect of this—measuring information flow—due to its conflation of dyadic and polyadic relationships. We extend this observation to demonstrate that this is true of all such Shannon information measures when used to analyze multivaria...
