Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Distributed source coding represents a paradigm shift in data compression, wherein multiple correlated sources are encoded independently while still enabling joint decoding. This approach contrasts ...

1. Basic Information and Coding Theorems: entropy, Huffman Codes, Mutual Information, Channel Capacity, Shannon’s theorems; 2. Error Control Coding: Coding ...

Information theory is a branch of mathematics and computer science that deals with the representation, transmission, and manipulation of information. It is based on a number of generally accepted ...

This course focuses on secure communication built on information theory, which does not assume that an adversary has computational limitations. We will begin from the basics of information theory, ...

This course is available on the MSc in Applicable Mathematics and MSc in Operations Research & Analytics. This course is available as an outside option to students on other programmes where ...
