Techniques from graph theory, statistics and entropy have been adapted and often successfully used in different disciplines for characterizing complex data in the language of networks. Zenil will explain how a novel algorithmic calculus can be exploited to reprogram systems, in particular genetic regulatory networks, showing that Shannon’s entropy, Kolmogorov-Chaitin’s complexity and Solomonoff-Levin’s algorithmic probability can quantify different properties of static and evolving (labeled and unlabeled) graphs.
