Re: [UAI] How Do You Define Similarity?

David: Here is my reply on the subject of similarity, which I don't believe you've seen. I add that Solomonoff, Kolmogorov, and Chaitin all addressed facets of randomization. In particular, Solomonoff's work on grammatical inference (e.g., See K.S. Fu)notes that grammars that are CF (or more gener

Re: [UAI] How Do You Define Similarity?

Dear Marcus, Thank you very much for drawing attention to the concept of Kolmogorov's Complexity and the work of Paul Vitanyi. Clearly, it is an intriguing concept. What is not clear to me is how to relate Kolmogorov's Complexity to the basic problem of defining similarity between two obje

Re: [UAI] How Do You Define Similarity?

Hi, Stuart, Marcus, Peter, Lotfi, all. Peter McBurney raises the issue of equivalence of two objects in his posting. As important as that is, I'll side-step it and address the words "similar" and "similarity". Assuming that we can satisfactorily represent the objects as (binary) bit strings, the
