The cluster structure function

Andrew R. Cohen, Paul M. B. Vitányi

For each partition of a data set into a given number of parts there is a partition such that every part is as much as possible a good model (an "algorithmic sufficient statistic")…

How incomputable is Kolmogorov complexity?

Paul Vitanyi

Kolmogorov complexity is the length of the ultimately compressed version of a file (that is, anything which can be put in a computer). Formally, it is the length of a shortest prog…

Logical depth for reversible Turing machines with an application to the rate of decrease in logical depth for general Turing machines

Paul MB Vitanyi

The logical depth of a {\em reversible} Turing machine equals the shortest running time of a shortest program for it. This is applied to show that the result in L.F. Antunes, A. So…

Identification of Probabilities

Paul M. B. Vitanyi, Nick Chater

Within psychology, neuroscience and artificial intelligence, there has been increasing interest in the proposal that the brain builds probabilistic models of sensory and linguistic…

Web Similarity in Sets of Search Terms using Database Queries

Andrew R. Cohen, Paul M. B. Vitanyi

Normalized web distance (NWD) is a similarity or normalized semantic distance based on the World Wide Web or another large electronic database, for instance Wikipedia, and a search…

On The Average-Case Complexity of Shellsort

Paul M. B. Vitanyi

We prove a lower bound expressed in the increment sequence on the average-case complexity of the number of inversions of Shellsort. This lower bound is sharp in every case where it…
