具体描述
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.

##好书好书太多了，还要继续读第三遍
评分##http://videolectures.net/course_information_theory_pattern_recognition/ http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/itprnn_lectures/
评分##图文并茂，但是有点废话太多，数学不严谨。
评分##只看了chapter巨多，只看了几个，感觉有点大杂烩。。。但提到的部分都是比较精简，有一种Wasserman的哪本The elements of statistics的即视感。。。不太喜欢这种永远让人忍不住去翻reference的handbook风格。。。
评分信息论和机器学习是一个硬币的两面。传统的信息论两条理论上的香农，工程应用是通信。具体的：贝叶斯数据模型，蒙特卡洛，变分法，聚类算法，神经网络。大脑是压缩和通信系统

评分##有点难，但是我觉得写的挺好的。
评分##早年读的，当时的感觉是深入但不浅出。适合做参考，作主打可能会事倍功半。
