SGN-9306  SIGNAL PROCESSING GRADUATE SEMINAR  III, 3-8 cr

 

Topics:    Algorithmic Information Theory: Mathematics Of Digital Information Processing

Time and Place:

Per III: Wednesdays 12:15-15, TB 224

Per IV: Wednesdays 12:15-15, TB 219

First meeting:         January 13, 2010

Instructors:                    Ioan Tabus, Ciprian Doru Giurcaneanu, Bogdan Dumitrescu

Textbook:               Algorithmic Information Theory: Mathematics Of Digital Information Processing, Peter Seibt, Springer, 444 pages,2006 (book available online at http://www.springerlink.com/content/uu2137/?p=36472dffc87a4f5694ccdafb51b6dba5&pi=6 )

 

Requirements:  Typically two presentations (including solving of book problems), participation as opponent to two presentations, and active participation in more than 70% of presentations are awarded 5cr. A significant project work related to the topic of the seminar will be awarded additional credits.

Contents (Publisher’s presentation): This book treats the Mathematics of many important areas in digital information processing.  It covers, in a unified presentation, five topics: Data Compression, Cryptography, Sampling (Signal Theory), Error Control Codes, Data Reduction. The thematic choices are practice-oriented. So, the important final part of the book deals with the Discrete Cosine Transform and the Discrete Wavelet Transform, acting in image compression. The presentation is dense, the examples and numerous exercises are concrete. The pedagogic architecture follows increasing mathematical complexity. A read-and-learn book on Concrete Mathematics, for teachers, students and practitioners in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics.

Written for:

Graduate students and scientists of information technology, engineers and mathematicians

Keywords:

*       Algebra, Cryptogrphy, Data Compression, Data Reduction, Error Control Codes, Sampling (Signal Theory)

 Registration:          By e-mail to tabus@cs.tut.fi or at the first lecture. Topics will be decided during the first lecture.

·       The presentations will include also discussions with the opponent and audience. Every participant should serve at least once as opponent.

·       The main goal is to introduce the topic to the other participants and convey the personal opinions regarding the open issues, connections to other methods, practical conclusions.

·       Project work consists of some experiments, using simulations or real data, performed in connection with at least one practical aspect of the subject.
