The Relevance of Relevance

 Devika Subramanian, Russell Greiner, Judea Pearl

Abstract

With too little information, reasoning and learning systems cannot work effectively.  Too much information can also cause the performance of these systems to degrade, in both accuracy and efficiency.  It is therefore important to determine what information must be preserved,  or more generally, i.e., what information is "relevant".
