Extractions: APPLICATION FORM: online ps-file The idea of the meeting is to exhibit the role of the concept of entropy in various areas of mathematics and theoretical physics. In particular the meeting will address in what way the use of this concept is based on similar structures and ideas in these fields and will point out possible differences. The goal of the meeting is to enhance the exchange of knowledge between researchers in different areas on the meaning and applicability of entropy and related ideas. Issues that will be addressed are For this purpose about twelve leading researchers will give 60 minute presentations on the role and use of entropy in their field followed by a discussion of 30 minutes prepared at least partially by a discussant. Survey lectures on the basic concepts and ideas concerning entropy will provide a common basis for contributions on more special aspects.

What Is Entropy?
The Definitions of entropy. Introduction entropy Defined. The popular understoodapplications. entropy and Classical Thermodynamics.
http://www.tim-thompson.com/entropy1.html

Extractions: Introduction: Entropy Defined entropy is what the equations define it to be . There is no such thing as an "entropy", without an equation that defines it. Entropy was born as a state variable in classical thermodynamics. But the advent of statistical mechanics in the late 1800's created a new look for entropy. It did not take long for Claude Shannon to borrow the Boltzmann-Gibbs formulation of entropy, for use in his own work, inventing much of what we now call information theory Entropy and Classical Thermodynamics Classical thermodynamics developed during the 19th century, its primary architects being Sadi Carnot Rudolph Clausius Benoit Claperyon James Clerk Maxwell , and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) . But it was Clausius who first explicitly advanced the idea of entropy On Different Forms of the Fundamental Equations of the Mechanical Theory of Heat The Mechanical Theory of Heat , 1867). The concept was expanded upon by Maxwell (

The Second Law Of Thermodynamics. By Brig Klyce
Thermodynamic entropy. The first opportunity for confusion ariseswhen we introduce the term entropy into the mix. Logical entropy.
http://www.panspermia.org/seconlaw.htm

Extractions: COSMIC ANCESTRY Quick Guide Next THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS What'sNEW The use of thermodynamics in biology has a long history rich in confusion Sometimes people say that life violates the second law of thermodynamics. This is not the case; we know of nothing in the universe that violates that law. So why do people say that life violates the second law of thermodynamics? What is the second law of thermodynamics? According to philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn, the second law was first put into words by two scientists, Rudolph Clausius and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin), using different examples, in 1850-51 . American quantum physicist Richard P. Feynman, however, says the French physicist Sadi Carnot discovered the second law 25 years earlier. That would have been before the first law, conservation of energy, was discovered ! In any case, modern scientists completely agree about the above principles. The first opportunity for confusion arises when we introduce the term entropy into the mix. Clausius invented the term in 1865. He had noticed that a certain ratio was constant in reversible, or ideal, heat cycles. The ratio was heat exchanged to absolute temperature. Clausius decided that the conserved ratio must correspond to a real, physical quantity, and he named it "entropy". Surely not every conserved ratio corresponds to a real, physical quantity. Historical accident has introduced this term to science. On another planet there could be physics without the concept of entropy. It completely lacks intuitive clarity. Even the great physicist James Clerk Maxwell had it backward for a while

Extractions: What is Text Mining? Text mining is about looking for patterns in natural language text, and may be defined as the process of analyzing text to extract information from it for particular purposes. Text mining recognizes that complete understanding of natural language text, a long-standing goal of computer science, is not immediately attainable and focuses on extracting a small amount of information from text with high reliability. The information extracted might be the author, title and date of publication of an article, the acronyms defined in a text or the articles mentioned in the bibliography. Web mining is the slightly more general case of looking for patterns in hypertext and often applies graph theoretical approaches to detect and utilise the structure of web sites. Text mining uses recall and precision (borrowed from the information retrieval research community) to to measure the effectiveness of different information extraction techniques, allowing quantitative comparisons to be made. measure the effectiveness of information extraction different techniques, allowing quantitative comparisons to be made of different techniques.

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/therm/entrop.html

Extractions: Entropy as Time's Arrow One of the ideas involved in the concept of entropy is that nature tends from order to disorder in isolated systems. This tells us that the right hand box of molecules happened before the left. Using Newton's laws to describe the motion of the molecules would not tell you which came first. Entropy and disorder Index Entropy concepts HyperPhysics Thermodynamics R Nave Go Back Entropy and Disorder If you assert that nature tends to take things from order to disorder and give an example or two, then you will get almost universal recognition and assent. It is a part of our common experience. Spend hours cleaning your desk, your basement, your attic, and it seems to spontaneously revert back to disorder and chaos before your eyes. So if you say that entropy is a measure of disorder, and that nature tends toward maximum entropy for any isolated system, then you do have some insight into the ideas of the second law of thermodynamics Some care must be taken about how you define "disorder" if you are going to use it to understand entropy. A more precise way to characterize entropy is to say that it is a measure of the "multiplicity" associated with the state of the objects. If a given state can be accomplished in many more ways, then it is more probabable than one which can be accomplished in only a few ways. When " throwing dice ", throwing a seven is more probable than a two because you can produce seven in six different ways and there is only one way to produce a two. So seven has a higher multiplicity than a two, and we could say that a seven represents higher "disorder" or higher entropy.

Time Travel Paradoxes
Closed temporal loop, thermodynamics,entropy, alternative universe and Ockham's Razor.
http://www.friesian.com/paradox.htm

Extractions: Time Travel Paradoxes Robert Heinlein's 1941 story "By His Bootstraps" begins with the narrator writing in a philosophy thesis that time travel is impossible because time, in Immanuel Kant's terms, is only empirically real and does not exist independently among things in themselves. The narrator is then suddenly surprised to find two different versions of himself arriving from the future, with conflicting warnings and promises about what he can do. Traveling to the future, he meets an older man who repeats the promises, but whom he ends up distrusting. After some confusion, back in the present, he obtains some supplies and returns to the future to a period significantly earlier than when he would met the older man, intending to contest the future with him. Eventually, however, it turns out that he himself is the older man and his future is in fact, pace Immanuel Kant, secured. A paradox of time travel arises in relation to this story. The narrator does indeed set himself up "by his bootstraps" his present and future selves all interact with each other to produce the events. The paradoxical nature of this comes down to the case of a notebook that was provided to the narrator by the older man in the future. It contained a vocabulary of the language that was spoken by people in the future. The narrator learns the language and, as the book wears out over the years, copies it over into a notebook he had fetched from the present. This notebook, as it happens, is the very one he, as the older man, then provides to his other self. He is therefore the same person who both learns the knowledge from the notebook and put the knowledge into the notebook in the first place. The vocabulary as a certain list of items arranged in a certain way was thus complied by

Maximum Entropy And Overlapping Events
Maximum entropy and Overlapping Events. Eric Sven Ristad The purpose of this appletis to help develop intuition about maximum entropy distributions.
http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~ristad/java/overlap/

Extractions: Eric Sven Ristad The purpose of this applet is to help develop intuition about maximum entropy distributions. A central advantage of the maximum entropy framework is its ability to model overlapping events without increasing the number of parameters or fragmenting the training data. Using maximum entropy techniques, it is possible to model a probability distribution on n elements using only n free parameters. Consider a space U with three natural events: A B , and C . Each event divides the space into two sets: those points included in the event, and those that are not included. Since the three events overlap, they partition the space into eight disjoint regions: ABC aBC AbC abC ABc aBc Abc , and abc . A lower case letter denotes the complement of the corresponding event. For example, a is the complement of A , and so the region aBC is the intersection of B and C and the complement of A In the maximum entropy framework, we may compute the probabilities of the eight regions directly from the probabilities of the three events and the sizes of the regions. All other things being equal, the maximum entropy distribution will assign more probability to larger regions and to regions contained in events with the greatest probability. When all regions are the same size the maximum entropy distribution will make the three events independent.
