Abstract

Shanon’s entropy has been widely used through different Science fields, as an example, to measure the quantity of information found in a message coming from a source. In real world applications, we need to measure the quality of several crossed information sources. In the specific case of language creation within multi-agent systems, we need to measure the correlation between words and their meanings to evaluate the quality of that language. When sources of information are numerous, we are willing to make correlations between those differents sources. Considering those n sources of information are put together in a matrix having n dimensions, we propose in this paper to extend Shanon’s entropy to measure information quality in R2+ and then in Rn+.
