Learning and Adaptive Data Analysis via Maximal Leakage

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

There has been growing interest in studying connections between generalization error of learning algorithms and information measures. In this work, we generalize a result that employs the maximal leakage, a measure of leakage of information, and explore ho ...

Measuring transient phase-amplitude coupling using local mutual information

Here we demonstrate the suitability of a local mutual information measure for estimating the temporal dynamics of cross-frequency coupling (CFC) in brain electrophysiological signals. In CFC, concurrent activity streams in different frequency ranges intera ...

Mutual Information for Low-Rank Even-Order Symmetric Tensor Factorization

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Clément Dominique Luneau

We consider a statistical model for finite-rank symmetric tensor factorization and prove a single-letter variational expression for its mutual information when the tensor is of even order. The proof uses the adaptive interpolation method, for which rank-on ...

Subadditivity Beyond Trees and the Chi-Squared Mutual Information

Emmanuel Abbé, Enric Boix Adsera

Evans et al. [1] proved the subadditivity of the mutual information in the broadcasting on tree model with binary vertex labels and symmetric edge channels. They raised the question of whether such subadditivity extends to loopy graphs in some appropriate ...

Quantifying high-order interdependencies via multivariate extensions of the mutual information

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Fernando Rosas de Andraca

This paper introduces a model-agnostic approach to study statistical synergy, a form of emergence in which patterns at large scales are not traceable from lower scales. Our framework leverages various multivariate extensions of Shannon's mutual information ...

Reed-Muller codes polarize

Emmanuel Abbé, Min Ye

Reed-Muller (RM) codes were introduced in 1954 and have long been conjectured to achieve Shannon's capacity on symmetric channels. The activity on this conjecture has recently been revived with the emergence of polar codes. RM codes and polar codes are gen ...

Optimal errors and phase transitions in high-dimensional generalized linear models

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová

Generalized linear models (GLMs) are used in high-dimensional machine learning, statistics, communications, and signal processing. In this paper we analyze GLMs when the data matrix is random, as relevant in problems such as compressed sensing, error-corre ...

Entropy and mutual information in models of deep neural networks

Nicolas Macris, Clément Dominique Luneau, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

We examine a class of stochastic deep learning models with a tractable method to compute information-theoretic quantities. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) we show how entropies and mutual informations can be derived from heuristic statistical physics ...

The adaptive interpolation method: a simple scheme to prove replica formulas in Bayesian inference

Nicolas Macris, Jean François Emmanuel Barbier

In recent years important progress has been achieved towards proving the validity of the replica predictions for the (asymptotic) mutual information (or free energy) in Bayesian inference problems. The proof techniques that have emerged appear to be quite ...

Statistical Physics Methods for Community Detection

Chun Lam Chan

This thesis is devoted to information-theoretic aspects of community detection. The importance of community detection is due to the massive amount of scientific data today that describes relationships between items from a network, e.g., a social network. I ...
