Comparison of maximum entropy and minimal mutual information in a nonlinear setting
In blind source separation (BSS), two di erent separation techniques are mainly used: minimal mutual information (MMI), where minimization of the mutual output information yields ...

Markov Random Fields and Maximum Entropy Modeling for Music Information Retrieval
Music information retrieval is characterized by a number of various user information needs. Systems are being developed that allow searchers to find melodies, rhythms, genres, an...

Maximum Entropy Rate of Markov Sources for Systems With Non-regular Constraints
Using the concept of discrete noiseless channels, it was shown by Shannon in A Mathematical Theory of Communication that the ultimate performance of an encoder for a constrained sy...

Extracting Randomness Using Few Independent Sources
In this work we give the first deterministic extractors from a constant number of weak sources whose entropy rate is less than 1/2. Specifically, for every > 0 we give an expl...

True Random Number Generators Secure in a Changing Environment
A true random number generator (TRNG) usually consists of two components: an “unpredictable” source with high entropy, and a randomness extractor — a function which, when app...
