The processing of information via the use of applied mathematics and electrical engineering

Subcategories

Audio coding - the translation of auditory information into digital code
Channel coding - code used to protect information over a channel by correcting errors resulting from noise or other interference
Codes - rules for converting one piece of information into another
Communication channels - a physical or logical connection between two points that allows for the exchange of an information signal
Decoding - translating from an coded message into the original language or form
Encoding - the process by which information from a source is changed into symbols to be communicated
Error compensation - the encoding or transmission of extra information or code to compensate for possible errors
Information entropy - the level of uncertainty associated with a random variable (often refers to the "Shannon entropy")
Mutual information - occasionally called transinformation, the quantity that measures the mutual dependence of two random variables
Rate distortion theory - the branch of information theory which explains lossy data compression and which determines the minimal amount of entropy that should be communicated over a channel
Speech coding - the use of the data compression of digital audio signals to encode speech
