Rapid convergence of the unadjusted langevin algorithm: Isoperimetry suffices

S Vempala, A Wibisono - Advances in neural information …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
Abstract We study the Unadjusted Langevin Algorithm (ULA) for sampling from a probability
distribution $\nu= e^{-f} $ on $\R^ n $. We prove a convergence guarantee in Kullback …

The odyssey of entropy: cryptography

B Zolfaghari, K Bibak, T Koshiba - Entropy, 2022 - mdpi.com
After being introduced by Shannon as a measure of disorder and unavailable information,
the notion of entropy has found its applications in a broad range of scientific disciplines. In …

An operational approach to information leakage

I Issa, AB Wagner, S Kamath - IEEE Transactions on …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Given two random variables X and Y, an operational approach is undertaken to quantify the
“leakage” of information from X to Y. The resulting measure L (X→ Y) is called maximal …

On the conditional Rényi entropy

S Fehr, S Berens - IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The Rényi entropy of general order unifies the well-known Shannon entropy with several
other entropy notions, like the min-entropy or collision entropy. In contrast to the Shannon …

Tight steering inequalities from generalized entropic uncertainty relations

T Kriváchy, F Fröwis, N Brunner - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We establish a general connection between entropic uncertainty relations, Einstein-
Podolsky-Rosen steering, and joint measurability. Specifically, we construct steering …
