Assessing Information Transmission in Data Transformations with the Channel Multivariate Entropy Triangle

Data transformation, e.g., feature transformation and selection, is an integral part of any machine learning procedure. In this paper, we introduce an information-theoretic model and tools to assess the quality of data transformations in machine learning tasks. In an unsupervised fashion, we analyze...
