Deeper understanding on the geometrical and operational meaning of sparsity and entropy

2020-11-17T13:29:19+02:00

Aalto’s Mobile Cloud Computing group deepens understanding on the geometrical and operational meaning of sparsity and entropy

In the past hundred years, the measures to compute sparsity, traditionally in the form of entropy, have been characterized and qualified from the physical or operational, and information theoretic perspectives.

In this paper, instead, a classical mathematical approach using equivalence relations has enabled a minimal characterization of sparsity. [...]

Brainsourcing is a novel crowdsourcing paradigm

2020-10-01T08:24:45+03:00

It is now reality to mine the relevance to or interest of people directly from the human mind. With the help of EEG interpreted via machine learning that is possible for the first time. In their research paper, Keith M. Davis, Lauri Kangassalo, Michiel Spapé and Tuukka Ruotsalo introduce brainsourcing. It is a novel crowdsourcing paradigm that utilizes brain responses recorded via EEG of a group of people. [...]
