Applications of fundamental topics of information theory include lossless data compression (e.g. ZIP files), lossy data compression (e.g. MP3s and JPEGs), and channel coding (e.g. for DSL). Information theory is used in information retrieval, intelligence gathering, gambling, and even in musical composition.

A key measure in information theory is entropy. Entropy quantifies the amount of uncertainty involved in the value of a random variable or the outcome of a random process. For example, identifying the outcome of a fair coin flip (with two equally likely outcomes) provides less information (lower entropy) than specifying the outcome from a roll of a  (with six equally likely outcomes). Some other important measures in information theory are mutual information, channel capacity, error exponents, and relative entropy.

信息论中的一个关键度量是熵。熵量化了一个随机变量的值或者一个随机过程的结果所包含的不确定性。例如,识别一次公平抛硬币的结果(有两个同样可能的结果)所提供的信息(较低的熵)少于指定一卷 a 的结果(有六个同样可能的结果)。信息论中的其他一些重要指标是互信息、信道容量、误差指数和相对熵。

Prior to this paper, limited information-theoretic ideas had been developed at Bell Labs, all implicitly assuming events of equal probability.  Harry Nyquist's 1924 paper, Certain Factors Affecting Telegraph Speed, contains a theoretical section quantifying "intelligence" and the "line speed" at which it can be transmitted by a communication system, giving the relation  (recalling Boltzmann's constant), where W is the speed of transmission of intelligence, m is the number of different voltage levels to choose from at each time step, and K is a constant.  Ralph Hartley's 1928 paper, Transmission of Information, uses the word information as a measurable quantity, reflecting the receiver's ability to distinguish one sequence of symbols from any other, thus quantifying information as , where S was the number of possible symbols, and n the number of symbols in a transmission. The unit of information was therefore the decimal digit, which has since sometimes been called the hartley in his honor as a unit or scale or measure of information. Alan Turing in 1940 used similar ideas as part of the statistical analysis of the breaking of the German second world war Enigma ciphers.

在这篇文章之前,有限的信息理论思想已经在贝尔实验室开发,所有隐含假设事件的等概率。Harry Nyquist 在1924年的论文《影响电报速度的某些因素》中有一个理论部分,量化了“智能”和通信系统可以传输的“线路速度” ,给出了关系(回顾 Boltzmann 常数) ,其中 w 是智能传输的速度,m 是每个时间步骤可以选择的不同电压级数,k 是常数。拉尔夫 · 哈特利在1928年发表的论文《信息的传递》中,将单词信息作为一个可测量的量,反映了接收者区分一系列符号的能力,从而将信息量化为,其中 s 是可能符号的数量,n 是传输中符号的数量。因此,信息的单位就是十进制数字,为了表示对他的尊敬,这个单位有时被称为哈特莱,作为信息的单位、尺度或度量。1940年,阿兰 · 图灵在对德国二战时期破解英格玛密码的统计分析中使用了类似的想法。
