Assessing the Role of Socio-Demographic Triggers on Kolmogorov-Based Complexity in Spoken English Varieties. [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy (Basel)
This paper assesses the role of socio-demographic triggers on Kolmogorov-based complexity in spoken English varieties. It thus contributes to the ongoing debate on contact and complexity in the sociolinguistic typological research community.

Reductions to the set of random strings: The resource-bounded case [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2014
This paper is motivated by a conjecture that BPP can be characterized in terms of polynomial-time nonadaptive reductions to the set of Kolmogorov-random strings.

Complexity and the Emergence of Physical Properties

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Using the effective complexity measure, proposed by M. Gell-Mann and S. Lloyd, we give a quantitative definition of an emergent property. We use several previous results and properties of this particular information measure closely related to the random ...

Kolmogorov Complexity as a Language [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The notion of Kolmogorov complexity (=the minimal length of a program that generates some object) is often useful as a kind of language that allows us to reformulate some notions and therefore provide new intuition. In this survey we provide (with minimal comments) many different examples where notions and statements that involve Kolmogorov complexity ...

On Measuring the Complexity of Networks: Kolmogorov Complexity versus Entropy

open access: yesComplexity, 2017
One of the most popular methods of estimating the complexity of networks is to measure the entropy of network invariants, such as adjacency matrices or degree sequences.

Rate distortion and denoising of individual data using Kolmogorov complexity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We examine the structure of families of distortion balls from the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. Special attention is paid to the canonical rate-distortion function of a source word which returns the minimal Kolmogorov complexity of all distortion

Kolmogorov compression complexity may differentiate different schools of Orthodox iconography

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The complexity in the styles of 1200 Byzantine icons painted between 13th and 16th from Greece, Russia and Romania was investigated through the Kolmogorov algorithmic information theory. The aim was to identify specific quantitative patterns which define

Ladderpath Approach: How Tinkering and Reuse Increase Complexity and Information

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The notion of information and complexity are important concepts in many scientific fields such as molecular biology, evolutionary theory and exobiology. Many measures of these quantities are either difficult to compute, rely on the statistical notion of ...

A Survey on Using Kolmogorov Complexity in Cybersecurity [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy (Basel), 2019
Security and privacy concerns are challenging the way users interact with devices. The number of devices connected to a home or enterprise network increases every day.

A Safe Approximation for Kolmogorov Complexity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Kolmogorov complexity (K) is an incomputable function. It can be approximated from above but not to arbitrary given precision and it cannot be approximated from below. By restricting the source of the data to a specific model class, we can construct a computable function κ¯ to approximate K in a probabilistic sense: the probability that the error is ...
