摘要：
We give a brief survey of the literature on the empirical estimation of entropy, differential entropy, relative entropy, mutual information and related information measures. While those quantities are of central importance in information theory, universal algorithms for their estimation are increasingly important in data science, machine learning, biology, neuroscience, economics, language, and other experimental sciences.
