A Novel Approach to the Partial Information Decomposition

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
We consider the “partial information decomposition” (PID) problem, which aims to decompose the information that a set of source random variables provide about a target random variable into separate redundant, synergistic, union, and unique components. In

Modeling Partially Reliable Information Sources: A General Approach Based on Dempster-Shafer Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Combining testimonial reports from independent and partially reliable information sources is an important problem of uncertain reasoning. Within the framework of Dempster-Shafer theory, we propose a general model of partially reliable sources which ...

Generalized information theory for hints

open access: yesInternational Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2013
This paper develops a new uncertainty measure for the theory of hints that complies with the established semantics of statistical information theory and further satisfies all classical requirements for such a measure imposed in the literature. The proposed functional decomposes into conversant uncertainty measures and therefore discloses a new ...

Towards Generalizing the Information Theory for Neural Communication

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
Neuroscience extensively uses the information theory to describe neural communication, among others, to calculate the amount of information transferred in neural communication and to attempt the cracking of its coding. There are fierce debates on how information is represented in the brain and during transmission inside the brain.

General Information Theory: Time and Information

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
This paper introduces time into information theory, gives a more accurate definition of information, and unifies the information in cognition and Shannon information theory. Specially, we consider time as a measure of information, giving a definition of time, event independence at the time frame, and definition of conditional probability.

The Need for an Informational Systems Approach to Security

open access: yestripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique, 2011
Different senses of security and its related assumptions, methodologies and contexts are analyzed by first reviewing the liberalistic notions of security and trust, unveiling, on the one hand, the contradictions exhibited between discourse and practice ...

Is Information Physical and Does It Have Mass?

open access: yesInformation, 2022
Some researchers suggest that information is a form of matter, calling it the fifth state of matter or the fifth element. Recent results from the general theory of information (GTI) contradict this. This paper aims to explain and prove that the claims of
