Measure-theoretic construction for information theory

Information Theoretic Measure for Visual Target Distinctness

ÐIt is of great benefit to have advance knowledge of human visual target acquisition performance for targets or other relevant objects. However, search performance inherently shows a large variance and depends strongly on prior knowledge of the perceived scene. A typical search experiment therefore requires a large number of observers to obtain statistically reliable data. Moreover, measuring t...

An Information Theoretic Measure for Robot Expressivity

This paper presents a principled way to think about articulated movement for artificial agents and a measurement of platforms that produce such movement. In particular, in human-facing scenarios, the shape evolution of robotic platforms will become essential in creating systems that integrate – and communicate – with human counterparts. This paper provides a tool to measure the expressive capac...

A measure theoretic approach to information retrieval

The vector space model of information retrieval is one of the classical and widely applied retrieval models. Paradoxically, it has been characterised by a discrepancy between its formal framework and implementable form. The underlying concepts of the vector space model are mathematical terms: linear space, vector, and inner product. However, in the vector space model, the mathematical meaning o...

Quantization with an Information-Theoretic Distortion Measure

An Information-Theoretic External Cluster-Validity Measure

In this paper we propose a measure of sim­ ilarity /association between two partitions of a set of objects. Our motivation is the desire to use the measure to characterize the quality or accuracy of clustering algorithms by some­ how comparing the clusters they produce with "ground truth" consisting of classes as­ signed by manual means or some other means in whose veracity there is confidence....
