Relevant information is required in all kinds of information-based systems. It is not a trivial task to locate the right piece of information since it may be diicult (or impossible) to specify query requests precisely and completely. Thus, a exible retrieval algorithm is required, allowing for an imprecise query speciication. The document presents an approach to judging relevance of retrieved i...

The information bottleneck is an information theoretic framework, extending the classical notion of minimal sufficient statistics, that finds concise representations for an ‘input’ random variable that are as relevant as possible for an ‘output’ variable. This framework has been used successfully in various supervised and unsupervised applications. However, its learning theoretic properties and...

We introduce the notion of relevant information loss for the purpose of casting the signal enhancement problem in information-theoretic terms. We show that many algorithms from machine learning can be reformulated using relevant information loss, which allows their application to the aforementioned problem. As a particular example we analyze principle component analysis for dimensionality reduc...

We are always seeking for relevant and useful information. However, the information provided to us generally does not conform to our information needs, mainly manifested from two aspects: One, when we search for some items, the number of candidate items is so large that targeting the most relevant items is difficult. Two, when our goal is to obtain some high-level and global type of information...

2 Routley-Meyer Frames Relevant logics are interesting things. One motivating principle for these logics is the requirement that if a conditional of the form ! is to be true, there must be a connection between and . The antecedent must somehow be relevant to the consequent . This is simple to chart prooftheoretically, and for years, this was how relevant logics were studied. (A great deal of th...

the purpose of this research was to study the effects of four personal and social variables including the age, literacy, job experience and size of herd on different variables such as implementing of managerial strategies in transition period, relevant costs of these strategies, average production per head and gross income of milk sale per head. for this purpose all required information were co...

This paper discussed whether there is an incremental value relevance of accounting information among Nigerian financial institutions. The study motivated by the Report on Observance Standard Code (ROSC) 2014 and 2011, which report that reporting has been marred with non-compliance, non-update, non-disclosures information.These have contributed to sudden fall stock market from 2008 2009 institut...
