A Proof of Proposition

Lemma 1. For any arbitrary r.v. X and countable r.v. Y , we have

where the first inequality follows by applying Jensen’s inequality to the function t 7→ − log(t).

Proof of Proposition 1: From Lemma 1, using Jensen’s inequality, we have

Table 5: Preliminary experiment results. Accuracy of the different backbone.

Using the identity given by (19) in expression (18), and setting β = 1/2, we obtain the following lower bound on I(X; Y ):

The inequality (6) immediately follows by replacing the distribution of the r.v. X with the empirical distribution on the query and P(y|x) with the soft-prediction corresponding to the feature x, which concludes the proof of the proposition.
