課程概述

Information Theory is a graduate level course (motivated undergraduate students are also welcome) designed for students who are interested in the quantitative fundamental limits of information. What is information and how to quantify information? What is the fundamental limits in representing information, delivering information, and learning information? In this course, we try to answer the above high-level questions with mathematical rigor.

We first introduce the fascinating theory originated from Claude E. Shannon, which addresses the above fundamental questions in the context of communication systems. We then provide algorithms that achieve these fundamental limits. Finally, advanced topics will be selectively overviewed in class and explored in final projects.  

課程目標
1. Introduce the fundamental limits in representing information (source coding), delivering information (channel coding), and learning information (statistical inference), along with the fundamental measures of information.
2. Develop algorithms to achieve these fundamental limits.
3. Explore advanced topics of information theory.
