A Sufficient-Statistic Reduction of the Information Bottleneck to a Low-Dimensional Problem

arXiv:2604.26744v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: We show that if the conditional distribution p(C | T) factors through a sufficient statistic {\phi}(T), then the Information Bottleneck (IB) problem for (T, C) is exactly equivalent to the IB problem f…
