\nTitle: When Information Theory Meets Algebra and Topology<\/p>\n
Abstract: In recent years, a few surprising connections have arisen between information theory, algebra, and topology. This talk is in a similar vein. We will discuss a certain correspondence between Shannon entropy and continuous functions on topological simplices that satisfy an equation akin to the Leibniz rule from Calculus. The correspondence relies heavily on a particular operad, which is an abstract tool with origins in algebraic topology. A broad goal for this talk is to unwind this result and to share why the confluence of these ideas is both unexpected yet intriguing.<\/p>\n
