Lecture 1: Introduction to Information Theory
Jakob Foerster
The first lecture of David MacKay's Cambridge course on information theory, pattern recognition and neural networks. It introduces the core ideas of his book Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms.
Recommended as an enjoyable, clear introduction to information theory that pairs well with MacKay's free textbook.
