Recent statistics show that breast cancer is a major cause of death among women in all of the world. Hence, early diagnostic with Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems is a very ...

We mathematically explore a model for the shortness and security for passwords that are stored in hashed form. The model is implicitly in the NIST publication [8] and is based on c...
In diagnostic decision-support systems, a test-selection facility serves to select tests that are expected to yield the largest decrease in the uncertainty about a patient’s diag...
Starting from an axiomatization of a generalization of Shannon entropy we introduce a set of axioms for a parametric family of distances over sets of partitions of finite sets. T...
We give near-optimal sketching and streaming algorithms for estimating Shannon entropy in the most general streaming model, with arbitrary insertions and deletions. This improves ...

There is growing interest in quantitative theories of information flow in a variety of contexts, such as secure information flow, anonymity protocols, and side-channel analysis. ...
In this paper we develop a novel measure of information in a random variable based on its cumulative distribution that we dub cumulative residual entropy (CRE). This measure parall...
In this paper we use the cumulative distribution of a random variable to define the information content in it and use it to develop a novel measure of information that parallels S...
