An Informational Theory of Privacy

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
Abstract Privacy of consumers or citizens is often seen as an inefficient information asymmetry. We challenge this view by showing that privacy can increase welfare in an informational sense. It can also improve information aggregation and prevent inefficient statistical discrimination.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

A theory of informational autocracy

Journal of Public Economics, 2019
Abstract We develop an informational theory of autocracy. Dictators survive not by means of force or ideology but because they convince the public—rightly or wrongly—that they are competent. Citizens do not observe the leader's type but infer it from signals in their living standards, state propaganda, and messages sent by an informed elite via ...

Fading in Reflective and Heavily Shadowed Industrial Environments With Large Antenna Arrays

IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation
One of the required communication solutions to support novel use cases, e.g., in industrial environments, for 5G systems and beyond is ultra-reliability low-latency communication (URLLC).

On the axiomatic foundations of the integrated information theory of consciousness

Neuroscience of Consciousness, 2018
The integrated information theory (IIT) is one of the most influential scientific theories of consciousness. It functions as a guiding framework for a great deal of research into the neural basis of consciousness and for attempts to develop a ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Information Theory based on Non-additive Information Content

, 2001
We generalize the Shannon's information theory in a nonadditive way by focusing on the source coding theorem. The nonadditive information content we adopted is consistent with the concept of the form invariance structure of the nonextensive entropy. Some

Rapid Material Appearance Acquisition Using Consumer Hardware

Sensors, 2014
A photo-realistic representation of material appearance can be achieved by means of bidirectional texture function (BTF) capturing a material’s appearance for varying illumination, viewing directions, and spatial pixel coordinates.

On the tuning of atmospheric inverse methods: comparisons with the European Tracer Experiment (ETEX) and Chernobyl datasets using the atmospheric transport model FLEXPART [PDF]

Geoscientific Model Development, 2020
Estimation of the temporal profile of an atmospheric release, also called the source term, is an important problem in environmental sciences. The problem can be formalized as a linear inverse problem wherein the unknown source term is optimized to ...
