A new approach to the problem of evaluating the complexity ("randomness") of finite sequences is presented, related to the number of steps in a self-delimiting production process by which a given sequence is presumed to be generated.
Abstract
A new approach to the problem of evaluating the complexity ("randomness") of finite sequences is presented. The proposed complexity measure is related to the number of steps in a self-delimiting production process by which a given sequence is presumed to be generated. It is further related to the number of distinct substrings and the rate of their occurrence along the sequence. The derived properties of the proposed measure are discussed and motivated in conjunction with other well-established complexity criteria.

Analysis and evaluation of handwriting in patients with Parkinson's disease using kinematic, geometrical, and non-linear features.

TL;DR: The results confirmed the negative impact of aging in the classification process when the authors considered different groups of healthy subjects and how those features are able to discriminate between Parkinson's disease patients and healthy subjects.

Quad tree structures for image compression applications

TL;DR: A class of lossy algorithms that is capable of compressing image data over a wide range of rates so that quick browsing of large amounts of information as well as detailed examination of high resolution areas can be achieved by the same compression system.

Linear and nonlinear analysis of airflow recordings to help in sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome diagnosis

TL;DR: The result suggests that AF and RRV provide useful information to detect SAHS, and the diagnostic performance of single features and LR models is assessed and compared in terms of sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve (AROC).

Consciousness is supported by near-critical slow cortical electrodynamics

TL;DR: It is shown that the electric activity of the cortex is indeed poised near the boundary between stability and chaos during conscious states and transitions away from this boundary during unconsciousness and that this transition disrupts cortical information processing.

Three approaches to the quantitative definition of information

TL;DR: In this article, three approaches to the quantitative definition of information are presented: information-based, information-aware and information-neutral approaches to quantifying information in the context of information retrieval.

The definition of random sequences

TL;DR: It is shown that the random elements as defined by Kolmogorov possess all conceivable statistical properties of randomness and can equivalently be considered as the elements which withstand a certain universal stochasticity test.

Process complexity and effective random tests

TL;DR: A variant of the Kolmogorov concept of complexity which yields a common theory of finite and infinite random sequences and some concepts of effective tests which are proved to be equivalent are established.

Information-Theoretic Limitations of Formal Systems

TL;DR: An attempt is made to apply information-theoretic computational complexity to meta-mathematics by measuring the difficulty of proving a given set of theorems, in terms of the number of bits of axioms that are assumed, and the size of the proofs needed to deduce the theoremic proofs.
