• Title: Contextuality and Informational Redundancy
• Authors: Ehtibar N. Dzhafarov and Janne V. Kujala
• Abstract summary: A noncontextual system of random variables may become contextual if one adds to it a set of new variables, even if each of them is obtained by the same context-wise function of the old variables. This fact follows from the definition of contextuality, and its demonstration is trivial for inconsistently connected systems.

• Abstract: A noncontextual system of random variables may become contextual if one adds to it a set of new variables, even if each of them is obtained by the same context-wise function of the old variables. This fact follows from the definition of contextuality, and its demonstration is trivial for inconsistently connected systems (i.e. systems with disturbance). However, it also holds for consistently connected (and even strongly consistently connected) systems, provided one acknowledges that if a given property was not measured in a given context, this information can be used in defining functions among the random variables. Moreover, every inconsistently connected system can be presented as a (strongly) consistently connected system with essentially the same contextuality characteristics.

• Hidden variables, free choice, context-independence, and all that [0.0]
  The paper provides a systematic account of the hidden variable models (HVMs) formulated to describe systems of random variables with mutually exclusive contexts. The equivalence and unfalsifiability imply that freedom of choice and context-independent mapping are no assumptions at all. The conjunction of these two notions, however, defines a falsifiable HVM that describes noncontextuality when applied to systems with no disturbance or to consistifications of arbitrary systems.

• Hypercyclic systems of measurements and patterns of contextuality [0.0]
  We consider four measures of contextuality, chosen for being based on the fundamental properties of the notion of contextuality. As systems of measurements change, either of them can change, while the other remains constant. We show that within hypercyclic systems, no two of the measures of contextuality are functions of each other.

• Contextuality with disturbance and without: Neither can violate substantive requirements the other satisfies [0.0]
  Contextuality was originally defined only for consistently connected systems of random variables. We show that no such set of requirements is possible, not only for CbD but for all possible CbD-like extensions of contextuality.

  We propose a novel Contextual Latent Generative Model (Context-LGM), which considers the object-context relation and models it in a hierarchical manner. To infer contextual features, we reformulate the objective function of Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE), where contextual features are learned as a posterior conditioned distribution on the object. The effectiveness of our method is verified by state-of-the-art performance on two context-aware object recognition tasks.

• Contextuality and Random Variables [0.0]
  The identity of a random variable in a system is determined by its joint distribution with all other random variables in the same context. When context changes, a variable measuring some property is instantly replaced by another random variable measuring the same property, or disappears if this property is not measured in the new context.

Specifically, we normalize these scores across various neighborhoods of closely contrasting questions and/or answers. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of training with instance bundles on two datasets.

  We study a class of nonlinear dynamical systems whose state transitions depend linearly on a known feature embedding of state-action pairs. We propose an active learning approach that achieves this by repeating three steps: trajectory planning, trajectory tracking, and re-estimation of the system from all available data. We show that our method estimates nonlinear dynamical systems at a parametric rate, similar to the statistical rate of standard linear regression.
