Reflections on the 2006 IEEE Joint Communications / Information Theory Paper Award

Suppose the binary images shown in Figure 1 were transmitted over a binary symmetric channel (BSC). What could be done to clean up or denoise the resulting noisy images? A quick scan of the image processing literature suggests the use of such algorithms as median filtering and morphological filtering. In the binary case a median filter replaces each pixel in the noisy image by the color of the ...

I dare say that there is no other IEEE society that is a more purely volunteer society than the Information Theory Society. Our society has no staff, and is basically run out of the back pockets of a large number of dedicated and highly responsible volunteers. Moreover, I believe that there is no other IEEE society in which the principal volunteers are so often the principal technical contribut...

Shannon information theory aims at finding fundamental limits for storage and communication, including rates of convergence to these limits. Indeed, many interesting information theoretic phenomena seem to appear in the second order asymptotics. So we first discuss precise analysis of the minimax redundancy that can be viewed as a measure of learnable or useful information. Then we highlight Ma...
