Lecture: ShannonCovers the basics of information theory, focusing on Shannon's setting and channel transmission.
Error-Correcting CodesExplores error-correcting codes, decoding processes, constraints satisfaction, randomness in code selection, and error compensation methods.
Secret Key Generation: Polar CodingExplores secret key generation using polar coding for short blocklengths, discussing key capacity, rate-leakage pairs, and practical implementation.
Shannon-Fano CodesCovers Shannon-Fano codes, a method for uniquely decodable and prefix-free coding, and discusses their optimality compared to the entropy.
