Information-theoretical complexity metrics

This class takes up information-theoretical complexity metrics in their own right. We show how to use the freely-available Cornell Conditional Probability Calculator to work out what a person would expect at intermediate points in a sentence. We discuss the implications of this formalization as regards theoretical issues under discussion in Adrian Staub's class.
