"Assisted Memories: Have Your Cake and Eat It" - The Baxandall Lecture by Professor Amos Lapidoth
Tue 28 October 2025
Robinson College
On Tuesday, 28 October 2025, Professor Professor Amos Lapidoth - the fifth Robinson's Baxandall Visiting Fellow - will deliver the lecture: “Assisted memories: Have Your Cake and Eat It”. This event is free and open to the public.
Using a simple model for defective memories, Professor Lapidoth shall demonstrate some of Shannon’s key theorems on Data Compression and Channel Coding, which are at the heart of Information Theory. More recent results, which were obtained with Ligong Wang and Yiming Yan, address coding for such memories in the presence of a rate-limited helper that is cognizant of both the data to be stored and the state of the memory cells.
Cost: Free to attend
