Information theory and inference, often taught separately, are here united in one entertaining textbook. These topics lie at the heart of many exciting areas of contemporary science and engineering - communication, signal processing, data mining, machine learning, pattern recognition, computational neuroscience, bioinformatics, and cryptography. This textbook 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. A toolbox of inference techniques, including message-passing algorithms, Monte Carlo methods, and variational approximations, are developed alongside applications of these tools to clustering, convolutional codes, independent component analysis, and neural networks. The final part of the book describes the state of the art in 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, David MacKay's groundbreaking book is ideal for self-learning and for undergraduate or graduate courses. Interludes on crosswords, evolution, and sex provide entertainment along the way. In sum, this is a textbook on information, communication, and coding for a new generation of students, and an unparalleled entry point into these subjects for professionals in areas as diverse as computational biology, financial engineering, and machine learning.

读后感
Mackay在我心中是一个多才多艺的天才，他重新发现了LDPC码的价值，使得这一具有革命性影响的信道码没有沉没在故纸堆中。这本书神奇地把数据压缩、通信理论、神经网络甚至是分布式算法这些我们在多门课程中学习的东西统一到了统计尤其是Bayesian统计的大框架下来，使得我们的...
评分1.刚从图书馆借到这本书，顺着书中的支持网站，发现作者把公开课视频也免费放到网上了，还可以直接下到英文原版电子版，这是什么精神~ ”A series of sixteen lectures covering the core of the book "Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms (Cambridge Un...
评分学习信息论的时候，老师推荐的，然后就买来了。实例很多，习题也很经典，花费了一个学期看了一遍，感觉对信息论的理解完全高了好多个层次。
评分可惜看过了，理解不深刻，又忘了。 准备拾起来，虽然基本上工作用不上，就当是完成一个念想吧！ 加油！
