Within an initiative devoted to "Information and Knowledge", these research groups collaborated over several years on issues of logic, probability, inference, and deduction. The goal of this volume is to examine whether there is any common ground between the different approaches to the concept of information. The structure of this book could be represented by a circular model, with an innermost syntactical circle, comprising statistical and algorithmic approaches; a second, larger circle, the semantical one, in which "meaning" enters the stage; and finally an outermost circle, the pragmatic one, casting light on real-life logical reasoning. These articles are complemented by two philosophical contributions exploring the wide conceptual field as well as taking stock of the articles on the various formal theories of information.Lecture notes in computer science ;5363.From Shannon to semantic Information theoryInformation measurementCongressesInformation storage and retrieval systemsCongressesSelf-organizing systemsCongressesInformation measurementInformation storage and retrieval systemsSelf-organizing systems003.54DAT 570fstubQH 710rvkSK 830rvkSS 4800rvk004sdnbSommaruga Giovanni66496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483507403321Formal theories of information1121432UNINA01347nas 22004213 450 991033073720332120220226213023.02208-8482ISSN/NOV2017(OCoLC)1012432029(CKB)4100000008702833(CONSER)--2020236685(EXLCZ)99410000000870283320171121a20179999 --- aengurmnu---unn|ntxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAustralian population studiesMelbourne, VicDomography and Ageing Unit, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne2017-1 online resourceRefereed/Peer-reviewedPopulationPeriodicalsDemographyAustraliaPeriodicalsDemographyfast(OCoLC)fst00890158Populationfast(OCoLC)fst01071476AustraliafastPeriodicals.fastPopulationDemographyDemography.Population.Melbourne School of Population and Global Health.Demography and Ageing UnitJOURNAL9910330737203321Australian population studies2576563UNINA
