Watch a 34-minute master thesis defense presentation exploring the fascinating phenomenon of asymmetric mutual intelligibility between languages through an information theory lens, delivered at the Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC). Discover how mathematical and computational approaches can help explain why speakers of one language may better understand a related language than vice versa, drawing on concepts from information theory to quantify and analyze these linguistic asymmetries.
