The information bottleneck (IB) approach is popular to improve the generalization, robustness and explainability of deep neural networks. Essentially, it aims to find a minimum sufficient representation $\mathbf{t}$ by striking a trade-off between a compression term $I(\mathbf{x};\mathbf{t})$ and a…
The cortico-spinal neural pathway is fundamental for motor control and movement execution, and in humans it is typically studied using concurrent electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) recordings. However, current approaches for capturing high-level and contextual connectivity betwe…
Graph sparsification aims to reduce the number of edges of a graph while maintaining its structural properties. In this paper, we propose the first general and effective information-theoretic formulation of graph sparsification, by taking inspiration from the Principle of Relevant Information (PRI).…
In this paper, we describe a set of robust algorithms for group-wise registration using both rigid and non-rigid transformations of multiple unlabelled point-sets with no bias toward a given set. These methods mitigate the need to establish a correspondence among the point-sets by representing them…
We investigate a neural network architecture and statistical framework that models frames in videos using principles inspired by computer graphics pipelines. The proposed model explicitly represents "sprites" or its percepts inferred from maximum likelihood of the scene and infers its movement indep…
