Infomax is an optimization principle for artificial neural networks and other information processing systems. It prescribes that a function that maps a set of input values ''I'' to a set of output values ''O'' should be chosen or learned so as to maximize the average Shannon mutual information between ''I'' and ''O'', subject to a set of specified constraints and/or noise processes. Infomax algorithms are learning algorithms that perform this optimization process. The principle was described by Linsker in 1988. Infomax, in its zero-noise limit, is related to the principle of redundancy reduction proposed for biological sensory processing by Horace Barlow in 1961, and applied quantitatively to retinal processing by Atick and Redlich. One of the applications of infomax has been to an independent component analysis algorithm that finds independent signals by maximising entropy. Infomax-based ICA was described by Bell and Sejnowski in 1995. ==References== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Infomax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
