ESE: MS Advising Session at Preston M. Green Hall

In this image, two agents are viewing an identical object from different perspectives. The redundant information they share is the existence of the object. The unique information they have is the shape and color which is uniquely visible from their own vantage point. The 3D shape of the object, however, can only be understood via cooperation, called synergistic information. The research was led by doctoral student Aobo Lyu, co-advised by Netanel Raviv and Andrew Clark, assistant professors. (Credit: Aobo Lyu)
