Sensing as a Complexity Measure

Wire length as a circuit complexity measure

We introduce wire length as a salient complexity measure for analyzing the circuit complexity of sensory processing in biological neural systems. This new complexity measure is applied in this paper to two basic computational problems that arise in translationand scale-invariant pattern recognition, and hence appear to be useful as benchmark problems for sensory processing. We present new circu...

Information Measure as Time Complexity

The concept of Shannon entropy of random variables was generalized to measurable functions in general, and to simple functions with finite values in particular. It is shown that the information measure of a function is related to the time complexity of search problems concerning the function in question. Formally, given a Turing reduction from a search problem y x f  ) ( to another search prob...

Bidirectional Sequence Classification for Tagging Tasks with Guided Learning

In this paper we present a series of adaptations of the Guided Learning framework to solve different tagging tasks. The specificity of the proposed system lies in its ability to learn the order of inference together with the parameters of the local classifier instead of forcing it into a pre-defined order (left-to-right). The training algorithm is based on the Perceptron Algorithm. We apply the...
