Novel Inconsistency Results for Partial Information Decomposition

Philip Hendrik Matthias, Abdullah Makkeh, Michael Wibral +1

Partial Information Decomposition (PID) seeks to disentangle how information about a target variable is distributed across multiple sources, separating redundant, unique, and syner…

Redundancy Maximization as a Principle of Associative Memory Learning in Hopfield Networks

Mark Blümel, Andreas C. Schneider, Valentin Neuhaus +5

Associative memory, traditionally modeled by Hopfield networks, enables the retrieval of previously stored patterns from partial or noisy cues. Yet, the local computational princip…

Shannon invariants: A scalable approach to information decomposition

Aaron J. Gutknecht, Fernando E. Rosas, David A. Ehrlich +3

Distributed systems, such as biological and artificial neural networks, process information via complex interactions engaging multiple subsystems, resulting in high-order patterns…

What should a neuron aim for? Designing local objective functions based on information theory

Andreas C. Schneider, Valentin Neuhaus, David A. Ehrlich +4

In modern deep neural networks, the learning dynamics of the individual neurons is often obscure, as the networks are trained via global optimization. Conversely, biological system…

Partial Information Decomposition for Continuous Variables based on Shared Exclusions: Analytical Formulation and Estimation

David A. Ehrlich, Kyle Schick-Poland, Abdullah Makkeh +3

Describing statistical dependencies is foundational to empirical scientific research. For uncovering intricate and possibly non-linear dependencies between a single target variable…
