DESCRIPTION:Prof. Erdal Arikan\, Bilkent University\nPolar codes are a cla
 ss of error-correction codes that achieve the capacity of binary-input mem
 oryless communication channels. Variants of these codes have also been sho
 wn to be optimal in a number of other source and channel coding scenarios.
  Polar coding can be seen as a natural generalization of Reed-Muller codin
 g. However\, the ideas leading to polar codes actually come from sequentia
 l decoding and the associated channel parameter "cutoff rate." This talk r
 elates polar coding to efforts to boost the cutoff rate of a channel towar
 ds its capacity\, most notably to the works by Pinsker and Massey.\nProf.
