47 results about "Information bottleneck method" patented technology

The information bottleneck method is a technique in information theory introduced by Naftali Tishby, Fernando C. Pereira, and William Bialek. It is designed for finding the best tradeoff between accuracy and complexity (compression) when summarizing (e.g. clustering) a random variable X, given a joint probability distribution p(X,Y) between X and an observed relevant variable Y - and described as providing "a surprisingly rich framework for discussing a variety of problems in signal processing and learning".
