Number of hidden states needed to physically implement a given conditional distribution
Jeremy A. Owen, Artemy Kolchinsky, David H. Wolpert
We consider the problem of how to construct a physical process over a finite state space that applies some desired conditional distribution to initial states to produce fin…
A space-time tradeoff for implementing a function with master equation dynamics
David H. Wolpert, Artemy Kolchinsky, Jeremy A. Owen
Master equations are commonly used to model the dynamics of physical systems, including systems that implement single-valued functions like a computer's update step. However, many…
Estimating Mixture Entropy with Pairwise Distances
Artemy Kolchinsky, Brendan D. Tracey
Mixture distributions arise in many parametric and non-parametric settings -- for example, in Gaussian mixture models and in non-parametric estimation. It is often necessary to com…
When is a bit worth much more than kT ln2?
Can Gokler, Artemy Kolchinsky, Zi-Wen Liu +6
Physical processes thatobtain, process, and erase information involve tradeoffs between information and energy. The fundamental energetic value of a bit of information exchanged wi…
Nonlinear Information Bottleneck
Artemy Kolchinsky, Brendan D. Tracey, David H. Wolpert
Information bottleneck (IB) is a technique for extracting information in one random variable that is relevant for predicting another random variable . IB works by encoding $…
Maximizing free energy gain
Artemy Kolchinsky, Iman Marvian, Can Gokler +6
Maximizing the amount of work harvested from an environment is important for a wide variety of biological and technological processes, from energy-harvesting processes such as phot…
