Expand description
Saliency Map — information-theoretic chunk ranking and deduplication.
Implements two key algorithms from recent information theory:
ECS (Entropic Context Shaping, arXiv 2025): Scores each chunk by its pragmatic utility — how much it shifts the LLM’s output distribution toward the correct answer. Operationalized as a composite of task relevance, graph centrality, and information density.
MIG (Marginal Information Gain, COMI 2025): Removes redundant chunks by measuring each chunk’s marginal contribution given the already-selected set: MIG(c_i) = Relevance(c_i) - Redundancy(c_i, selected).
Scientific basis: Saliency maps (Itti & Koch 2001) + lateral inhibition (V1 cortex) for competitive chunk selection.
