Information Theory, Pattern Recognition and Neural NetworksPart III Physics Course: Minor option. 16 lectures.January 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004.[want to choose a nearer web site? | Cambridge, Europe | Toronto, North America |]In 2004 I will continue teaching this course. The main things at this site are the course lecture notes, i.e., my book Information Theory, Inference and Learning Algorithms, (which now has its own website) and the Summary of the course. Compression challenge - compress me!One of the main assignments for this course is to write compression and uncompression algorithms to compress a sparse file containing N=10000 bits of which roughly 0.01 are 1s; your algorithm should work well on all such files. Please email to djcm1 the compressed size that your algorithm achieves, and maybe write a brief webpage summarising your method. If you'd like to use the Huffman algorithm in constructing your solution, here's one in perl. [Worked solutions: C programs for compression]Want to give feedback on the book, or report typos?Great, to ask a question about the book please use this FAQ; to report a typo, mail me. THANK YOU!A list of minor corrections already reported for draft 3.1415 Other things
