Kolmogorov Complexity in Randomness Extraction
We clarify the role of Kolmogorov complexity in the area of randomness extraction. We show that a computable function is an almost randomness extractor if and only if it is a Kolm...

Kolmogorov Complexity in perspective. Part I: Information Theory and Randomnes
We survey diverse approaches to the notion of information: from Shannon entropy to Kolmogorov complexity. Two of the main applications of Kolmogorov complexity are presented: rand...

Reconciling Data Compression and Kolmogorov Complexity
While data compression and Kolmogorov complexity are both about effective coding of words, the two settings differ in the following respect. A compression algorithm or compressor...

Scaled Dimension and the Kolmogorov Complexity of Turing-Hard Sets
We study constructive and resource-bounded scaled dimension as an information content measure and obtain several results that parallel previous work on unscaled dimension. Scaled ...
