We present a combinatorial characterization of the Bethe entropy function of a factor graph, such a characterization being in contrast to the original, analytical, definition of th...
This work presents a neural model of self-localisation implemented on a simulated mobile robot with a realistic visual input. A population of modelled place cells with overlapping...

It has been known since [Zyablov and Pinsker 1982] that a random q-ary code of rate 1 − Hq(ρ) − ε (where 0 < ρ < 1 − 1/q, ε > 0 and Hq(·) is the q-ary entropy ...
We consider the issue of how to read out the information from nonstationary spike train ensembles. Based on the theory of censored data in statistics, we propose a ‘censored’ m...
We prove new lower bounds for locally decodable codes and private information retrieval. We show that a 2-query LDC encoding nbit strings over an ℓ-bit alphabet, where the decode...
