متن کاملStatistical Physics and Information Theory
This is a set of lecture notes for a graduate course, which focuses on the relations between Information Theory and Statistical Physics. The course is aimed at EE graduate students in the area of Communications and Information Theory, as well as to graduate students in Physics who have basic background in Information Theory. Strong emphasis is given to the analogy and parallelism between Inform...
متن کاملStatistical Mechanics and Information Theory
Definition 1 (Spin Excess) For a system with N particles with spins ±m, the spin excess is given by how many particles more than N/2 have spin +m, i.e. S = N↑ − N2 where N↑ is the number of particles with spin +m. From Definition 1 and Equation (1) it follows that the total magnetic moment is given by M = 2mS. Theoretically, one could calculate the system’s magnetic moment at some point in time...
متن کاملInformation Theory and Statistical Physics
Relationships between information theory and statistical physics have been recognized over the last few decades. One such aspect is identifying structures of optimization problems pertaining to certain information-theoretic settings and drawing analogy to parallel structures arising in statistical physics, and then borrowing statistical mechanical insights, as well as powerful analysis techniqu...
متن کاملInformation theory and Visual Plasticity
The relevance of information theory to neural networks has become more apparent in recent years. This theory has become important in analysing and understanding the nature of the neuronal code that is relayed between cortical layers and the nature of the learning goals that guide neuronal learning and synaptic modification. The rapid advance in recent years of single and multiple electrode reco...
