范畴幅度与熵

Categorical magnitude and entropy

Stephanie Chen, Juan Pablo Vigneaux

AI总结:

本文将香农熵扩展到配备概率的有限范畴,建立范畴幅度与熵的联系,使得选取特定均匀概率时可恢复范畴幅度,实现基数的范畴论推广与信息论熵的统一。

摘要:

对于任意配备概率测度的有限集合,我们可以计算其香农熵或信息量。当采用均匀概率时,熵等于集合基数的对数。Leinster为某类有限范畴引入了欧拉示性数的概念,也称为幅度(magnitude),可视为基数的范畴论推广。本文旨在将这两个概念联系起来,考虑将香农熵扩展到配备概率的有限范畴,使得当选取某种“均匀”概率时,能够得到幅度。

英文摘要:

Given any finite set equipped with a probability measure, one may compute its Shannon entropy or information content. The entropy becomes the logarithm of the cardinality of the set when the uniform probability is used. Leinster introduced a notion of Euler characteristic for certain finite categories, also known as magnitude, that can be seen as a categorical generalization of cardinality. This paper aims to connect the two ideas by considering the extension of Shannon entropy to finite categories endowed with probability, in such a way that the magnitude is recovered when a certain choice of "uniform" probability is made.
