Information theory provides the fundamental framework for understanding and designing data compression algorithms. At its core lies the concept of entropy, a quantitative measure that reflects the ...
The identities or bounds that relate information measures (e.g., the entropy and mutual information) and estimation measures (e.g., the minimum means square error ...
The polymath Christoph Adami is investigating life’s origins by reimagining living things as self-perpetuating information strings. There are few bigger — or harder — questions to tackle in science ...
