8514N001 Philosophical Perspectives for Information

Editor: Date:2019-03-13 Hits:82

There is a philosophy in the East, Feng Youlan (1895-1990), from the special understanding of the common phase, Sansongtang self-order (1986).There is a contemporary science in the West, RAFisher (Fisher) (1890-1962), seeking (rather) from the matter (data), first proposed the likelihood and integrated into Fisher information, Statistical Methods andScientific Inference (1959).

As a philosophical concept, from the feeling of special feelings to the thought of mutual understanding, thinking needs feeling, but feeling is not thinking.From the special understanding of the common phase in it.As a scientific methodological concept, from the observation of random data to the likelihood of random process inference, the likelihood requires data, but the data is not plausible, and thus the inference requires observation, butObservations are not inferred.From the facts, it is indispensable to find the law from the data.

Fisher pioneered the study of the following concepts and propositions: the concept of data generation - the amount of information contained in generating a data; the proposition of data simplicity - the simplicity of sampling data, how to ensure minimal (or no) Loss of information.The analysis of the two lies in the likelihood.The completeness and compactness of the data generation, and thus the sufficiency and immutability of the data is simple, which is ubiquitous in science.For example, in the face of the relationship between special and general and concrete and abstract, Feng Youlan proposed that feelings are different, and thus through understanding and understanding of the common phase, which is omnipresent in philosophy.The philosophical feelings and thoughts are parallel to the data and likelihood of science.

Our general education course consists of the intersection of science and philosophy in the field of information from ideas and methodologies.Through four directions, we go to the least squares, go to entropy, go to Hilbert space and go to quantum, and move toward the combination of science and philosophy, and get the most basic edification and training about inference and judgment.
