Occam factors and model-independent Bayesian learning of continuous distributions
Ilya Nemenman, William Bialek
Learning of a smooth but nonparametric probability density can be regularized using methods of Quantum Field Theory. We implement a field theoretic prior numerically, test its effi…
Universality and individuality in a neural code
Elad Schneidman, Naama Brenner, Naftali Tishby +2
The problem of neural coding is to understand how sequences of action potentials (spikes) are related to sensory stimuli, motor outputs, or (ultimately) thoughts and intentions. On…
Stability and noise in biochemical switches
William Bialek
Many processes in biology, from the regulation of gene expression in bacteria to memory in the brain, involve switches constructed from networks of biochemical reactions. Crucial m…
Real time encoding of motion: Answerable questions and questionable answers from the fly's visual system
Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck, Alexander Borst, William Bialek
In the past decade, a small corner of the fly's visual system has become an important testing ground for ideas about coding and computation in the nervous system. A number of resul…
The information bottleneck method
Naftali Tishby, Fernando C. Pereira, William Bialek
We define the relevant information in a signal as being the information that this signal provides about another signal $y\in \Y$. Examples include the information that fac…
