Gorm Nykreim give us a presentation exploring the Deathcamp Riddle, which concerns inference and error correction in a situation with very limited information exchange -- and very high stakes! We'll see how this relates to the Hamming limits of error correction, and to Golay codes.

AHMC is entering a new instar. In this latest stage of evolution, we're exploring a format where members take turns delivering shortish talks on topics we've discussed in meeting that have especially tickled our fancy, using Shannon information theory as a springboard for forays into real analysis, data science, representation theory, signal processing, and more.

Here's the meeting format for the coming weeks:

2:00 pm -- Everyone joins the meetings and introduces themselves. New members get priority for introducing themselves and telling us about their interests.
2:20 pm -- The talk of the week.
3:00 pm -- Open discussion of the presented material, and other stuff that is related and cool.
4:00 pm -- End
