| contents | The following note proves that conditional entropy of a sequence is almost time-reversal invariant, specifically they only differ by a small constant factor dependent only upon the forward and backward models that the entropies are being calculated with respect to. This gives rise to a numerical value that quantifies learnability, as well as a methodology to control for distributional shift between datasets. Rough guidelines are given for practitioners. |
