A Semantic Generalization of Shannon’s Information Theory and Applications

Entropy
Does semantic communication require a semantic information theory parallel to Shannon’s information theory, or can Shannon’s work be generalized for semantic communication?

Outline of a Theory of Strongly Semantic Information [PDF]

Minds and Machines, 2004
This paper outlines a quantitative theory of strongly semantic information (TSSI) based on truth-values rather than probability distributions. The main hypothesis supported in the paper is that the classic quantitative theory of weakly semantic information (TWSI), based on probability distributions, assumes that truth-values supervene on factual ...

Prefiguring Floridi’s Theory of Semantic Information [PDF]

tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique, 2013
: Luciano Floridi has been very active in helping to develop both the philosophy of information as a discipline and an actual theory of the nature of semantic information. This paper has three purposes.

A theory of semantic information [PDF]

China Communications, 2017
The information really useful to humans must be the trinity of its three components, the form termed syntactic information, the meaning termed semantic information, and the utility termed pragmatic information. But the theory of information set up by Shannon in 1948 is a statistical theory of syntactic information.

Semantic Algorithmic Information Theory: From Kolmogorov Complexity to Semantic Equivalence [PDF]

Entropy
Classical Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT) provides a rigorous foundation for information-based similarity measurement, but classical formulations and their compression-based approximations largely operate at the syntactic level, making them ...

Towards a Semantic Theory of Information

tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique, 2009
Information can be understood as that which reduces uncertainty, no matter what origin it has. In the field of human communication, information is only meaningful if it is part of a finished or intentional action.

Semantic Channel Capacity of Rayleigh Fading Channels Based on Synonymous Mapping [PDF]

Entropy
Classical information theory (CIT) characterizes the transmission limit for communication systems under syntactic accuracy, whereas semantic information theory (SIT) studies communication from the perspective of semantic fidelity induced by synonymous ...

Outline of a Theory of Truth as Correctness for Semantic Information [PDF]

tripleC: Communication, Capitalism & Critique, 2009
The article develops a correctness theory of truth (CTT) for semantic information. After the introduction, in section two, semantic information is shown to be translatable into propositional semantic information (i). In section three, i is polarised into
