Infomorphic networks: Locally learning neural networks derived from partial information decomposition

no code implementations3 Jun 2023 Marcel Graetz, Abdullah Makkeh, Andreas C. Schneider, David A. Ehrlich, Viola Priesemann, Michael Wibral

Understanding the intricate cooperation among individual neurons in performing complex tasks remains a challenge to this date.

A Measure of the Complexity of Neural Representations based on Partial Information Decomposition

1 code implementation21 Sep 2022 David A. Ehrlich, Andreas C. Schneider, Viola Priesemann, Michael Wibral, Abdullah Makkeh

However, the specific way in which this mutual information about the classification label is distributed among the individual neurons is not well understood: While parts of it may only be obtainable from specific single neurons, other parts are carried redundantly or synergistically by multiple neurons.

Dendritic predictive coding: A theory of cortical computation with spiking neurons

no code implementations11 May 2022 Fabian A. Mikulasch, Lucas Rudelt, Michael Wibral, Viola Priesemann

However, experimental evidence for error units, which are central to the theory, is inconclusive, and it remains unclear how hPC can be implemented with spiking neurons.

Information-theoretic analyses of neural data to minimize the effect of researchers' assumptions in predictive coding studies

no code implementations21 Mar 2022 Patricia Wollstadt, Daniel L. Rathbun, W. Martin Usrey and, André Moraes Bastos, Michael Lindner, Viola Priesemann, Michael Wibral

We demonstrate our approach by investigating two opposing accounts of predictive coding-like processing strategies, where we quantify the building blocks of predictive coding, namely predictability of inputs and transfer of information, by local active information storage and local transfer entropy.

A Rigorous Information-Theoretic Definition of Redundancy and Relevancy in Feature Selection Based on (Partial) Information Decomposition

no code implementations10 May 2021 Patricia Wollstadt, Sebastian Schmitt, Michael Wibral

We argue that this lack is inherent to classical information theory which does not provide measures to decompose the information a set of variables provides about a target into unique, redundant, and synergistic contributions.

Bits and Pieces: Understanding Information Decomposition from Part-whole Relationships and Formal Logic

1 code implementation21 Aug 2020 Aaron J. Gutknecht, Michael Wibral, Abdullah Makkeh

In this paper we show, first, that the entire theory of partial information decomposition can be derived from considerations of elementary parthood relationships between information contributions.

Formal Logic

Inferring COVID-19 spreading rates and potential change points for case number forecasts

8 code implementations2 Apr 2020 Jonas Dehning, Johannes Zierenberg, F. Paul Spitzner, Michael Wibral, Joao Pinheiro Neto, Michael Wilczek, Viola Priesemann

As COVID-19 is rapidly spreading across the globe, short-term modeling forecasts provide time-critical information for decisions on containment and mitigation strategies.

Bayesian Inference

Introducing a differentiable measure of pointwise shared information

1 code implementation9 Feb 2020 Abdullah Makkeh, Aaron J. Gutknecht, Michael Wibral

We here present a novel measure that satisfies this property, emerges solely from information-theoretic principles, and has the form of a local mutual information.
