Normalized Mutual Information Feature Selection
A filter method of feature selection based on mutual information, called normalized mutual information feature selection (NMIFS), is presented. NMIFS is an enhancement over Battiti's MIFS, MIFS-U, and mRMR methods. The average normalized mutual information is proposed as a measure of redundancy among features.

Error Exponents and α-Mutual Information
Over the last six decades, the representation of error exponent functions for data transmission through noisy channels at rates below capacity has seen three distinct approaches: (1) Through Gallager’s E0 functions (with and without cost constraints); (2)

Finite Sample Based Mutual Information
Mutual information is a popular metric in machine learning. In case of a discrete target variable and a continuous feature variable the mutual information can be calculated as a sum-integral of weighted log likelihood ratio of joint and marginal density ...

Estimating mutual information [PDF]
We present two classes of improved estimators for mutual information $M(X,Y)$, from samples of random points distributed according to some joint probability density $ (x,y)$. In contrast to conventional estimators based on binnings, they are based on entropy estimates from $k$-nearest neighbour distances. This means that they are data efficient (with $

Mutual Information and Multi-Agent Systems
We consider the use of Shannon information theory, and its various entropic terms to aid in reaching optimal decisions that should be made in a multi-agent/Team scenario.

Mutual information for fermionic systems
We study the behavior of the mutual information (MI) in various quadratic fermionic chains, with and without pairing terms and both with short- and long-range hoppings.

The nature of dependence between random variables has always been the subject of many statistical problems for over a century. Yet today, there is a great deal of research on this topic, especially focusing on the analysis of nonlinearity. Shannon mutual

Information Bottleneck Analysis by a Conditional Mutual Information Bound
Task-nuisance decomposition describes why the information bottleneck loss I(z;x)−βI(z;y) is a suitable objective for supervised learning. The true category y is predicted for input x using latent variables z.

Achievable information rate optimization in C-band optical fiber communication system
Optical fiber communication networks play an important role in the global telecommunication network. However, nonlinear effects in the optical fiber and transceiver noise greatly limit the performance of fiber communication systems.

An Axiomatic Characterization of Mutual Information
We characterize mutual information as the unique map on ordered pairs of discrete random variables satisfying a set of axioms similar to those of Faddeev’s characterization of the Shannon entropy.
