Reconciling Data Compression and Kolmogorov Complexity
While data compression and Kolmogorov complexity are both about effective coding of words, the two settings differ in the following respect. A compression algorithm or compressor...

Resolution Proofs, Exponential Bounds, and Kolmogorov Complexity
We prove an exponential lower bound for the length of any resolution proof for the same set of clauses as the one used by Urquhart [13]. Our contribution is a significant simpli...

Lower Bounds Using Kolmogorov Complexity
Abstract. In this paper, we survey a few recent applications of Kolmogorov complexity to lower bounds in several models of computation. We consider KI complexity of Boolean functio...

Conceptualizing Birkhoff's Aesthetic Measure Using Shannon Entropy and Kolmogorov Complexity
In 1928, George D. Birkhoff introduced the Aesthetic Measure, defined as the ratio between order and complexity, and, in 1965, Max Bense analyzed Birkhoff's measure from an i...

Modelling Image Complexity by Independent Component Analysis, with Application to Content-Based Image Retrieval
Abstract. Estimating the degree of similarity between images is a challenging task as the similarity always depends on the context. Because of this context dependency, it seems qui...
