Phonological distances for linguistic typology and the origin of Indo-European languages
Marius Mavridis, Juan De Gregorio, Raul Toral +1
We show that short-range phoneme dependencies encode large-scale patterns of linguistic relatedness, with direct implications for quantitative typology and evolutionary linguistics…
Information-theoretic analysis of temporal dependence in discrete stochastic processes: Application to precipitation predictability
Juan De Gregorio, David Sánchez, Raúl Toral
Understanding the temporal dependence of precipitation is key to improving weather predictability and developing efficient stochastic rainfall models. We introduce an information-t…
Exploring language relations through syntactic distances and geographic proximity
Juan De Gregorio, Raúl Toral, David Sánchez
Languages are grouped into families that share common linguistic traits. While this approach has been successful in understanding genetic relations between diverse languages, more…
Entropy estimators for Markovian sequences: A comparative analysis
Juan De Gregorio, David Sanchez, Raul Toral
Entropy estimation is a fundamental problem in information theory that has applications in various fields, including physics, biology, and computer science. Estimating the entropy…
