Information entropy as an anthropomorphic concept
According to E.T. Jaynes and E.P. Wigner, entropy is an anthropomorphic concept in the sense that in a physical system correspond many thermodynamic systems. The physical system can be examined from many points of view each time examining different variables and calculating entropy differently. In this paper we discuss how this concept may be applied in information entropy; how Shannon's definition of entropy can fit in Jayne's and Wigner's statement. This is achieved by generalizing Shannon's notion of information entropy and this is the main contribution of the paper. Then we discuss how entropy under these considerations may be used for the comparison of password complexity and as a measure of diversity useful in the analysis of the behavior of genetic algorithms.

Thinking beyond the anthropomorphic paradigm benefits LLM research
Anthropomorphism, or the attribution of human traits to technology, is an automatic and unconscious response that occurs even in those with advanced technical expertise. In this position paper, we analyze hundreds of tho…
ArticlesPosition: Anthropomorphic Misalignment Research Needs Stronger Evidence
We argue that many Anthropomorphic Misalignment Research (AMR) studies need stronger evidence to ensure that they can provide a robust foundation for critical safety decisions, such as model deployment and regulation. By…
Dehumanizing Machines: Mitigating Anthropomorphic Behaviors in Text Generation Systems
As text generation systems' outputs are increasingly anthropomorphic -- perceived as human-like -- scholars have also increasingly raised concerns about how such outputs can lead to harmful outcomes, such as users over-r…
Text GenerationThe Influence of Human-like Appearance on Expected Robot Explanations
A robot's appearance is a known factor influencing user's mental model and human-robot interaction, that has not been studied in the context of its influence in expected robot explanations. In this study, we investigate …
Educational SoftHand-A: Building an Anthropomorphic Hand with Soft Synergies using LEGO MINDSTORMS
This paper introduces an anthropomorphic robot hand built entirely using LEGO MINDSTORMS: the Educational SoftHand-A, a tendon-driven, highly-underactuated robot hand based on the Pisa/IIT SoftHand and related hands. To …
