Information Geometry and Its Applications: On the Occasion of Shun-ichi Amari's 80th Birthday, IGAIA IV Liblice, Czech Republic, June 2016

by Nihat Ay, Paolo Gibilisco, Frantisek Matús

Overview

The book gathers contributions from the fourth conference on Information Geometry and its Applications, which was held on June 12–17, 2016, at Liblice Castle, Czech Republic on the occasion of Shun-ichi Amari’s 80th birthday and was organized by the Czech Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Information Theory and Automation.

The conference received valuable financial support from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (Information Theory of Cognitive Systems Group), Czech Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Information Theory and Automation, and Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata.

The aim of the conference was to highlight recent advances in the field of information geometry and to identify new research directions. To this end, the event brought together leading experts in the field who, in invited talks and poster sessions, discussed both theoretical work and achievements in the many fields of application in which information geometry plays an essential role.
