An information theoretic histogram for single dimensional selectivity estimation
: We study the problem of one dimensional selectivity estimation in relational databases. We introduce a new type of histogram based on information theory. We compare our histogram...

A Comparison of New and Old Algorithms for a Mixture Estimation Problem
We investigate the problem of estimating the proportion vector which maximizes the likelihood of a given sample for a mixture of given densities. We adapt a framework developed for...

Relevance information: a loss of entropy but a gain for IDF?
When investigating alternative estimates for term discriminativeness, we discovered that relevance information and idf are much closer related than formulated in classical literat...

Graph Entropy, Network Coding and Guessing games
We introduce the (private) entropy of a directed graph (in a new network coding sense) as well as a number of related concepts. We show that the entropy of a directed graph is ide...

Fast Object and Pose Recognition Through Minimum Entropy Coding
We present a pattern recognizer to classify a variety of objects and their pose on a table from real world images. Learning of weights in a linear discriminant is based on estimat...
