Filtering information in a connected network
Andrea Capocci, František Slanina, Yi-Cheng Zhang · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics
We introduce a new kind of Information Theory. From a finite number of local, noisy comparisons, we want to design a robust filter such that the outcome is a high ranking number. Both analytical and numerical results are encouraging and we believe our toy model has wide ranging implications in the future Internet-based information selection mechanism.
