具體描述
Information theory and inference, taught together in this exciting textbook, lie at the heart of many important areas of modern technology - communication, signal processing, data mining, machine learning, pattern recognition, computational neuroscience, bioinformatics and cryptography. The book introduces theory in tandem with applications. Information theory is taught alongside practical communication systems such as arithmetic coding for data compression and sparse-graph codes for error-correction. Inference techniques, including message-passing algorithms, Monte Carlo methods and variational approximations, are developed alongside applications to clustering, convolutional codes, independent component analysis, and neural networks. Uniquely, the book covers state-of-the-art error-correcting codes, including low-density-parity-check codes, turbo codes, and digital fountain codes - the twenty-first-century standards for satellite communications, disk drives, and data broadcast. Richly illustrated, filled with worked examples and over 400 exercises, some with detailed solutions, the book is ideal for self-learning, and for undergraduate or graduate courses. It also provides an unparalleled entry point for professionals in areas as diverse as computational biology, financial engineering and machine learning.

##隻看瞭chapter巨多，隻看瞭幾個，感覺有點大雜燴。。。但提到的部分都是比較精簡，有一種Wasserman的哪本The elements of statistics的即視感。。。不太喜歡這種永遠讓人忍不住去翻reference的handbook風格。。。

評分##讀瞭一點，組會解散瞭，於是沒有繼續下去瞭，感覺這書講得好 detail 啊。 組會在讀的書之一。 水木 AI 版有人推薦，有電子版，有時間看一下。看章節標題似乎很不錯的樣子。
評分##好書好書太多瞭，還要繼續讀第三遍

評分##教科書的榜樣
評分##: G201/M153
評分##（讀過部分章節）與很多教材不同的是，把很多東西放在一起討論，很有意思。 適閤做個補充類讀物。要是學信息論或者機器學習還是以其他教材為主吧
評分##有點難，但是我覺得寫的挺好的。
