Information-Based Classification and Retrieval
Keith van Rijsbergen

Information has been, and continues to be, an elusive concept; nevertheless many philosophers, mathematicians, logicians, and computer scientists consider that the concept is fundamental. Many attempts have been made, with varying degrees of success, to provide a sensible and intuitively acceptable definition of information. In this lecture I will give a brief survey of different notions of information, including statistical and epistemic ones. If one takes as one’s starting point that for an ontology of objects individuated by a cognitive agent it makes sense to speak of the information contained in one object about another. Then one can argue, as I will, that a properly defined information calculus may constitute a sound basis for the classification and retrieval of multimedia objects.
