Course description
The purpose of this exercise is to understand the information theory more deeply via real-life practices. Therefore, it is a required subject for students training the fundamental information theory and its applications.

In this exercises, real-life problems of source coding, communication channels, and channel coding are introduced via practices mainly with the original prints.
Expected Learning
Learners who complete this course will be able to solve:
- the notion of entropy and information,
- the fundamental limits of data compression,
- the theoretical limits of error correction.

Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy:
See the Curriculum maps (computer and information science, diploma policy type C).

Message from instructor(s)
I want students to develop a deeper understanding of information theory that is the basic technology for digital communications. I would also like to encourage students to learn how to calculate and evaluate the limitation of coding and channel capacity that we consider during the lectures, and to learn how we conduct research.
Course keywords
