A new version of algorithmic information theory

نویسنده

  • Gregory J. Chaitin
چکیده

Algorithmic information theory may be viewed as the result of adding the idea of program-size complexity to recursive function theory. The main application of algorithmic information theory is its informationtheoretic incompleteness theorems. This theory is concerned with the size of programs, but up to now these have never been programs that one could actually program out and run on interesting examples. I have now figured out how to actually program the algorithms in the proofs of the all the key information-theoretic incompleteness theorems in algorithmic information theory. I have published this material electronically in a series of detailed reports [1,2,3,4]

3D Scene and Object Classification Based on Information Complexity of Depth Data

In this paper the problem of 3D scene and object classification from depth data is addressed. In contrast to high-dimensional feature-based representation, the depth data is described in a low dimensional space. In order to remedy the curse of dimensionality problem, the depth data is described by a sparse model over a learned dictionary. Exploiting the algorithmic information theory, a new def...

How to run algorithmic information theory on a computer: Studying the limits of mathematical reasoning

Hi everybody! It’s a great pleasure for me to be back here at the new, improved Santa Fe Institute in this spectacular location. I guess this is my fourth visit and it’s always very stimulating, so I’m always very happy to visit you guys. I’d like to tell you what I’ve been up to lately. First of all, let me say what algorithmic information theory is good for, before telling you about the new v...

Algorithmic Information & Evolution

A theory of information and computation has been developed: " algo-rithmic information theory. " Two books [11–12] have recently been published on this subject, as well as a number of nontechnical discussions [13–16]. The main thrust of algorithmic information theory is twofold: (1) an information-theoretic mathematical definition of random sequence via algorithmic incompressibility, and (2) st...
