A free public lecture titled 'Beyond bits: information theory in the age of intelligent machines', one of the Imperial Inaugurals celebrating newly appointed professors. Deniz Gündüz, Professor of Information Processing at Imperial College London, asks whether Claude Shannon's bit and the classical limits of communication still apply when most information will soon be produced by intelligent machines for other intelligent machines. He draws on his lab's work on machines that learn their own codes and protocols, private and secure computation, wireless image and video transmission, and compression by neural networks. Registration in advance is required to attend in person, with a livestream available.
