Entropy and inference, revisited
Ilya Nemenman, Fariel Shafee, William Bialek
We study properties of popular near-uniform (Dirichlet) priors for learning undersampled probability distributions on discrete nonmetric spaces and show that they lead to disastrou…
On the interaction of point charges in an arbitrary domain
Alexander Silbergleit, Ilya Nemenman, Ilya Mandel
We develop a systematic approach to calculating the electrostatic force between point charges in an arbitrary geometry with arbitrary boundary conditions. When the boundary is pres…
Complexity Through Nonextensivity
William Bialek, Ilya Nemenman, Naftali Tishby
The problem of defining and studying complexity of a time series has interested people for years. In the context of dynamical systems, Grassberger has suggested that a slow approac…
