Lecture 1 : Data Compression and Entropy
نویسنده
چکیده
In this lecture, we will study a simple model for data compression. The compression algorithms will be constrained to be “lossless” meaning that there should be a corresponding decoding algorithm that recovers the original data exactly. We will study the limits of such compression, which ties to the notion of entropy. We will also study a simple algorithm for compression when the input text arrives one symbol at a time.

These lecture notes introduce some basic concepts from Shannon’s information theory, such as (conditional) Shannon entropy, mutual information, and Rényi entropy, as well as a number of basic results involving these notions. Subsequently, well-known bounds on perfectly secure encryption, source coding (i.e. data compression), and reliable communication over unreliable channels are discussed. We...
متن کاملQuantum source coding and data compression
This lecture is intended to be an easily accessible first introduction to quantum information theory. The field is large and it is not completely covered even by the recent monograph [15]. Therefore the simple topic of data compression is selected to present some ideas of the theory. Classical information theory is not a prerequisite, we start with the basics of Shannon theory to give a feeling...

Since the appearing probability of each English symbol P (a), ...P (b), ...P (” ”), ..., P (; ) is not uniform, we should be able to reduce the number of required bits. Based on the probability of each English symbol, we can compute the entropy H(E) ∼= 4.5 bits / char. If we use Huffman coding taught in this lecture to encode English keyboard, then we only need around 4.7 bits / char. Furthermo...

variously referred to as source coding, lossless coding, noiseless coding or entropy coding exactly and without error, the original message. Lossless coding implies that the message may be decoded back to the original sequence of symbols. The converse of lossless coding (“lossy” coding) implies some degree of approximation of the original message. lossless coding may augment lossy coding, eg VQ...
