Semantic Information G Theory for Range Control with Tradeoff between Purposiveness and Efficiency
Recent advances in deep learning suggest that we need to maximize and minimize two different kinds of information simultaneously. The Information Max-Min (IMM) method has been used in deep learning, reinforcement learning, and maximum entropy control. Shannon's information rate-distortion function is the theoretical basis of Minimizing Mutual Information (MMI) and data compression, but it is not enough to solve the IMM problem. The author has proposed the semantic information G theory (i.e., Shannon-Lu theory), including the semantic information G measure and the information rate fidelity function R(G) (R is the MMI for the given G of semantic mutual information). The parameter solution of the R(G) function provides a general method to improve the information efficiency, G/R. This paper briefly introduces the semantic information G measure and the parametric solution of the R(G) function. Two examples reveal that the parametric solution can help us optimize range control with the tradeoff between purposiveness (i.e., semantic mutual information) and information efficiency. It seems that the R(G) function can serve as the theoretical basis of IMM methods, but we still need further research in combination with deep learning, reinforcement learning, and constraint control.

On the Rate-Distortion-Complexity Tradeoff for Semantic Communication
Semantic communication is a novel communication paradigm that focuses on conveying the user's intended meaning rather than the bit-wise transmission of source signals. One of the key challenges is to effectively represen…
Semantic CommunicationSemantic Variational Bayes Based on a Semantic Information Theory for Solving Latent Variables
The Variational Bayesian method (VB) is used to solve the probability distributions of latent variables with the minimum free energy criterion. This criterion is not easy to understand, and the computation is complex. Fo…
Data CompressionTradeoffs and Comparison Complexity
This paper develops a theory of how tradeoffs govern comparison complexity, and how this complexity generates systematic mistakes in choice. In our model, options are easier to compare when they involve less pronounced t…
Fitts' Law for speed-accuracy trade-off describes a diversity-enabled sweet spot in sensorimotor control
Human sensorimotor control exhibits remarkable speed and accuracy, and the tradeoff between them is encapsulated in Fitts' Law for reaching and pointing. While Fitts related this to Shannon's channel capacity theorem, de…

Feedback is ubiquitous in both biological and engineered control systems. In biology, in addition to typical feedback between plant and controller, we observe feedback pathways within control systems, which we call inter…
