具体描述
Sir David John Cameron MacKay FRS FInstP FICE (22 April 1967 – 14 April 2016) was a British physicist, mathematician, and academic. He was the Regius Professor of Engineering in the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge and from 2009 to 2014 was Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). MacKay authored the book Sustainable Energy – Without the Hot Air.
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.

评分##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##（读过部分章节）与很多教材不同的是，把很多东西放在一起讨论，很有意思。 适合做个补充类读物。要是学信息论或者机器学习还是以其他教材为主吧
