---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Zoltan Szabo <szz...@cs.elte.hu> Date: Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 7:44 PM Subject: Connectionists: Information Theoretical Estimators Toolbox To: connectioni...@cs.cmu.edu Dear Connectionist-ers, We are pleased to announce our recently released ITE (Information Theoretical Estimators) toolbox. The ITE package could be of interest to many of you: the estimation of information theoretical quantities (entropy, mutual information, divergence) plays a central role in numerous important problems of computational neuroscience. Unfortunately, available packages focus on (i) discrete variables, or (ii) quite specialized applications and information theoretical estimation methods. To fill in this serious gap, we have recently released ITE (i) a highly modular, (ii) free and open source, (iii) multi-platform toolbox package, which 1. is capable of estimating many different variants of entropy, mutual information and divergence measures. 2. offers a simple and unified framework to (a) easily construct new estimators from existing ones or from scratch, and (b) transparently use the obtained estimators in information theoretical optimization problems. 3. with a prototype application in a central problem family of signal processing, independent subspace analysis and its extensions. The homepage of ITE is "https://bitbucket.org/szzoli/ite/";. Feel free to use it. Best, Zoltan ("http://nipg.inf.elte.hu/szzoli";) -- M. Sc.
