Book description:
With the rise of the internet and the proliferation of technology to
gather and organize data, our era has been defined as "the information
age." With the prominence of information as a research concept, there
has arisen an increasing appreciation of the intertwined nature of
fields such as logic, linguistics, and computer science that answer
the questions about information and the ways it can be processed. The
many research traditions do not agree about the exact nature of
information. By bringing together ideas from diverse perspectives,
this book presents the emerging consensus about what a conclusive
theory of information should be. The book provides an introduction to
the topic, work on the underlying ideas, and technical research that
pins down the richer notions of information from a mathematical point
of view.
The book contains contributions to a general theory of information,
while also tackling specific problems from artificial intelligence,
formal semantics, cognitive psychology, and the philosophy of mind.
There is focus on the dynamics of information flow, and also a
consideration of static approaches to information content; both
quantitative and qualitative approaches are represented.
