Novelty, Information and Surprise de Günther Palm

Novelty, Information and Surprise: Information Science and Statistics

Autor Günther Palm
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2024
This revised edition offers an approach to information theory that is more general than the classical approach of Shannon. Classically, information is defined for an alphabet of symbols or for a set of mutually exclusive propositions (a partition of the probability space Ω) with corresponding probabilities adding up to 1. The new definition is given for an arbitrary cover of Ω, i.e. for a set of possibly overlapping propositions. The generalized information concept is called novelty and it is accompanied by two concepts derived from it, designated as information and surprise, which describe "opposite" versions of novelty, information being related more to classical information theory and surprise being related more to the classical concept of statistical significance. In the discussion of these three concepts and their interrelations several properties or classes of covers are defined, which turn out to be lattices. The book also presents applications of these concepts, mostlyin statistics and in neuroscience.

Notă biografică

Günther Palm studied mathematics in Hamburg and Tübingen. After completing his studies in mathematics (Master in 1974, Ph.D. in 1975) he worked on nonlinear systems, associative memory and brain theory at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen. In 1983/84 he was a Fellow at the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin. From 1988 to 1991 he was professor for theoretical brain research at the University of Düsseldorf. Since then he has served as a professor for computer science and Director of the Institute of Neural Information Processing at the University of Ulm, where his focus is on information theory, pattern recognition, neural networks, and brain modelling.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This revised edition offers an approach to information theory that is more general than the classical approach of Shannon. Classically, information is defined for an alphabet of symbols or for a set of mutually exclusive propositions (a partition of the probability space Ω) with corresponding probabilities adding up to 1. The new definition is given for an arbitrary cover of Ω, i.e. for a set of possibly overlapping propositions. The generalized information concept is called novelty and it is accompanied by two concepts derived from it, designated as information and surprise, which describe "opposite" versions of novelty, information being related more to classical information theory and surprise being related more to the classical concept of statistical significance. In the discussion of these three concepts and their interrelations several properties or classes of covers are defined, which turn out to be lattices. The book also presents applications of these concepts, mostly in statistics and in neuroscience.

Caracteristici

Provides definitions of useful new concepts: description, novelty, surprise, template Discusses new viewpoints on information theory in relation to the natural sciences Demonstrates a method of analyzing neuronal spike trains (burst surprise)

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“In this interesting book, the author extends classical Shannon information theory to include the subjective element of interestingness, novelty or surprise. … A theory of novelty and surprise is developed in this book to provide a brief and comprehensive exposition of classical information theory … . all the chapters have exercises, and so this book can be used as an undergraduate/graduate textbook. Since each chapter contains a decent number of references … readers can find research problems from those references.” (Yûichirô Kakihara, Mathematical Reviews, July, 2013)
“In this book the author introduces (subjective) notions of interestingness, novelty and surprise of messages employing probality spaces … . The book is easy to read and does not require strong mathematical background, thus it could be used as a textbook or as material for self-study in graduate or post-graduate courses.” (Jaak Henno, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1257, 2013)
