Decomposing Multivariate Information in Complex Systems

International Workshop
05 - 09 June 2023

Information decomposition seeks to partition the total information provided by a set of sources into its unique, redundant and synergistic components, a task that is not addressed by Shannon’s information theory. This workshop aims to bring together the entire community of researchers working on this problem into a single venue for the first time.

Topics include

  • Historical background
  • Existing progress on information decomposition
  • Novel measures and approaches
  • Lattices and algebraic structures
  • Continued development of existing approaches
  • Quantifying computation, emergence and causality in physical systems
  • Applications in neuroscience
  • Information decomposition for robotics and AI
  • Biological and biology-inspired applications
