Information theory as a measure of information content

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1973
AbstractIn efficient coding, Information‐Communication‐Coding Theory based on probabilities of occurrence assigns short codes to events with little information content and long codes to events with high information content. This provides a direct relationship of code size to amount of information content.

Semantic Relatedness Measures in Ontologies Using Information Content and Fuzzy Set Theory

The 14th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2005. FUZZ '05., 2005
The success of the semantic Web is linked with the use of ontologies on the semantic Web. Ontologies help systems understand the meaning of information and can serve as the interface to the inferencing layer of the semantic Web. An increasingly important task is to determine a degree or measure of semantic relatedness between concepts within and across

Discriminant content validity: A quantitative methodology for assessing content of theory‐based measures, with illustrative applications

British Journal of Health Psychology, 2014
ObjectivesIn studies involving theoretical constructs, it is important that measures have good content validity and that there is not contamination of measures by content from other constructs. While reliability and construct validity are routinely reported, to date, there has not been a satisfactory, transparent, and systematic method of assessing and

Measuring of Effectiveness of Courseware Content Using Learning Theory for a Programming Subject

, 2016
The need to integrate multimedia in the process of teaching and learning at all level of education is becoming more significant. Multimedia based e-Learning is seen as an effective alternative in teaching and learning process. This method is able to create a student-centered learning where students are encouraged of being independence; study at their ...

Analyzing Form and Measuring Perceptual Content in Mozart's Sonata K. 282: A New Theory of Parametric Analogues

Music Perception, 1996
Hierarchic analysis in music necessarily separates form from content. However, in active listening, the two are indivisible. To illustrate this, I first analyze in Part 1 the opening movement in Mozart's Sonata K. 282 from the top down, using traditional methods in music theory.

The Application of the Theory on Self-tuning Predictive Compensating Control in the Automatic Measuring and Controlling Apparatus on Water-content in Material Pulp

2011 Third International Conference on Measuring Technology and Mechatronics Automation, 2011
In the production process of making material pulp through the ball grinder, water-content is a very important parameter. In order to make the water-content in material pulp reaches the target value, we adopt the Theory on Self-tuning Predictive Compensating Control to predict and controll so that we can find out the best value promptly, and realize the

The Quantum Field Theory (QFT) Dual Paradigm in Fundamental Physics and the Semantic Information Content and Measure in Cognitive Sciences

, 2017
In this paper we explore the possibility of giving a justification of the “semantic information” content and measure, in the framework of the recent coalgebraic approach to quantum systems and quantum computation, extended to QFT systems. In QFT, indeed, any quantum system has to be considered as an “open” system, because it is always interacting with ...

Measuring Venture Emergence and Survival by Analyzing Transaction Relations in Business Plans : Using Network Theory Constructs and Computer-Based Content Analysis to determine the VE status and survival capability of NTBFs

2016 International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation/IEEE lnternational Technology Management Conference (ICE/ITMC), 2016
This paper broadens the resource-based approach to explaining survival of new technology-based firms (NTBFs) by focusing on the entrepreneur’s ability to transform resources in response to triggers resulting from market interactions. Network theory is used to define a construct that allows determining the status of venture emergence (VE).The ...
