This study extends the mathematical model of emotion dimensions that we previously proposed (Yanagisawa, et al. 2019, Front Comput Neurosci) to consider perceived complexity as well as novelty, as a source of arousal potential. Berlynes hedonic function of arousal potential (or the inverse U-shaped curve, the so-called Wundt curve) is assumed. We modeled the arousal potential as information contents to be processed in the brain after sensory stimuli are perceived (or recognized), which we termed sensory surprisal. We mathematically demonstrated that sensory surprisal represents free energy, and it is equivalent to a summation of information gain (or information from novelty) and perceived complexity (or information from complexity), which are the collative variables forming the arousal potential. We demonstrated empirical evidence with visual stimuli (profile shapes of butterfly) supporting the hypothesis that the summation of perceived novelty and complexity shapes the inverse U-shaped beauty function. We discussed the potential of free energy as a mathematical principle explaining emotion initiators.

We show that dynamical gain modulation of neurons stimulus response is described as an information-theoretic cycle that generates entropy associated with the stimulus-related activity from entropy produced by the modulation. To articulate this theory
, we describe stimulus-evoked activity of a neural population based on the maximum entropy principle with constraints on two types of overlapping activities, one that is controlled by stimulus conditions and the other, termed internal activity, that is regulated internally in an organism. We demonstrate that modulation of the internal activity realises gain control of stimulus response, and controls stimulus information. A cycle of neural dynamics is then introduced to model information processing by the neurons during which the stimulus information is dynamically enhanced by the internal gain-modulation mechanism. Based on the conservation law for entropy production, we demonstrate that the cycle generates entropy ascribed to the stimulus-related activity using entropy supplied by the internal mechanism, analogously to a heat engine that produces work from heat. We provide an efficient cycle that achieves the highest entropic efficiency to retain the stimulus information. The theory allows us to quantify efficiency of the internal computation and its theoretical limit.
A common goal in the areas of secure information flow and privacy is to build effective defenses against unwanted leakage of information. To this end, one must be able to reason about potential attacks and their interplay with possible defenses. In t
his paper, we propose a game-theoretic framework to formalize strategies of attacker and defender in the context of information leakage, and provide a basis for developing optimal defense methods. A novelty of our games is that their utility is given by information leakage, which in some cases may behave in a non-linear way. This causes a significant deviation from classic game theory, in which utility functions are linear with respect to players strategies. Hence, a key contribution of this paper is the establishment of the foundations of information leakage games. We consider two kinds of games, depending on the notion of leakage considered. The first kind, the QIF-games, is tailored for the theory of quantitative information flow (QIF). The second one, the DP-games, corresponds to differential privacy (DP).
We present an information-theoretic framework for understanding overfitting and underfitting in machine learning and prove the formal undecidability of determining whether an arbitrary classification algorithm will overfit a dataset. Measuring algori
thm capacity via the information transferred from datasets to models, we consider mismatches between algorithm capacities and datasets to provide a signature for when a model can overfit or underfit a dataset. We present results upper-bounding algorithm capacity, establish its relationship to quantities in the algorithmic search framework for machine learning, and relate our work to recent information-theoretic approaches to generalization.
Complexity measures in the context of the Integrated Information Theory of consciousness try to quantify the strength of the causal connections between different neurons. This is done by minimizing the KL-divergence between a full system and one with
out causal connections. Various measures have been proposed and compared in this setting. We will discuss a class of information geometric measures that aim at assessing the intrinsic causal influences in a system. One promising candidate of these measures, denoted by $Phi_{CIS}$, is based on conditional independence statements and does satisfy all of the properties that have been postulated as desirable. Unfortunately it does not have a graphical representation which makes it less intuitive and difficult to analyze. We propose an alternative approach using a latent variable which models a common exterior influence. This leads to a measure $Phi_{CII}$, Causal Information Integration, that satisfies all of the required conditions. Our measure can be calculated using an iterative information geometric algorithm, the em-algorithm. Therefore we are able to compare its behavior to existing integrated information measures.
In many neural systems anatomical motifs are present repeatedly, but despite their structural similarity they can serve very different tasks. A prime example for such a motif is the canonical microcircuit of six-layered neo-cortex, which is repeated
across cortical areas, and is involved in a number of different tasks (e.g.sensory, cognitive, or motor tasks). This observation has spawned interest in finding a common underlying principle, a goal function, of information processing implemented in this structure. By definition such a goal function, if universal, cannot be cast in processing-domain specific language (e.g. edge filtering, working memory). Thus, to formulate such a principle, we have to use a domain-independent framework. Information theory offers such a framework. However, while the classical framework of information theory focuses on the relation between one input and one output (Shannons mutual information), we argue that neural information processing crucially depends on the combination of textit{multiple} inputs to create the output of a processor. To account for this, we use a very recent extension of Shannon Information theory, called partial information decomposition (PID). PID allows to quantify the information that several inputs provide individually (unique information), redundantly (shared information) or only jointly (synergistic information) about the output. First, we review the framework of PID. Then we apply it to reevaluate and analyze several earlier proposals of information theoretic neural goal functions (predictive coding, infomax, coherent infomax, efficient coding). We find that PID allows to compare these goal functions in a common framework, and also provides a versatile approach to design new goal functions from first principles. Building on this, we design and analyze a novel goal function, called coding with synergy. [...]
