Inhalt:
The course will start with a brief tracing of the evolution of
information theory from the pioneering work of Shannon in the
1940's to the current state of knowledge. The emphasis will be
on concepts and techniques rather than mathematical rigor.
Then the course will shift to applications of information theory.
Topics will include applying basic ideas of information theory to
elementary coding theory - mainly error-correcting codes,
the conversion of decision tables to efficient decision trees
and data compression, including the Lempel-Ziv algorithm
(used e.g. in Unix with compress commands).
No prior knowledge of informaion theory will be assumed.
This course is self-contained, though students familiar with
elementary notions from probability will be better equipped
for some of the topics.
The course will be taught in English.
