They also found that there are many “trivial” representations of the inputs which are, from the point of view of information theory, optimal in terms of their balance between prediction and ...

In 2015, he and his student Noga Zaslavsky hypothesized that deep learning is an information bottleneck procedure that compresses noisy data as much as possible while preserving information about what ...

Artificial intelligence is poised to upend much of society, removing human limitations inherent in many systems. One such limitation is information and logistical bottlenecks in decision-making.

Leagues of documents necessary to meet Know Your Customer/Know Your Business regulations leave banks with a bottleneck of data that complicates and slows process. Here are 5 ways to clear the clog.

A bottleneck is a point of congestion in a production system that stops or severely slows the system. Short-term bottlenecks are temporary and usually caused by employees on vacation or sick leave.

New SFI research challenges a popular conception of how machine learning algorithms “think” about certain tasks. The conception goes something like this: because of their ability to discard useless ...

A new idea called the “information bottleneck” is helping to explain the puzzling success of today’s artificial-intelligence algorithms—and might also explain how human brains learn.
