dr hab. Łukasz Dębowski
I am an associate professor at the Institute of Computer Science, Polish Academy of Sciences (IPI PAN) and I work in the Statistical Analysis and Modeling Group (ZAMS).
My background is in theoretical physics. Now I work in computer science but I also prove theorems in mathematics and research quantitative linguistics.
I wrote one monograph and two textbooks:
A sketch of me by Alicja Fenigsen
My interests revolve around (highlighted keywords link to my research):
- information theory: grammar-based codes, prediction by partial matching, universal density estimation, stationary coding
- stochastic processes: information measures for sigma-fields, ergodic decomposition, Santa Fe processes, perigraphic processes, algorithmic randomness
- quantitative linguistics: Zipf's law, Hilberg's law, theorem about facts and words, hapax rate, urn model, maximal repetition, Taylor's law, decay of correlations
- large language models: neural scaling law, overparametrization, embeddings, hallucinations, memory
- computational mechanics: universal prediction, epsilon-machine, causal states, excess entropy
