M4 Room

Information Theory

M4 addresses the fundamental limits identified by Landauer and Shannon, as well as information-theoretical security for distributed computing, storage, and the transport of information.

Key Questions

Investigating AI-assisted compression for reducing traffic and latency.

New IT models based on human and robotic kinematics.

Semantic coding for efficient communication in low-bandwidth environments.

Approach

  • Data reduction and low-latency communication: AI-assisted compression and post-Shannon communication.
  • Reliable communication and new information sources: Advanced network coding and new communication algorithms.
  • Sovereign communication systems: Developing models for secure and private algorithms in environments with varying trust levels.

Expected Results

  • Data reduction by up to 100 times.
  • Semantic coding for multimodal communications.
  • Models for secure communications in sovereign environments.
