In information theory, Shannon's source coding theorem (or noiseless coding theorem) establishes the limits to possible data compression, and the operational meaning of the Shannon entropy. Named after Claude Shannon, the source coding theorem shows that (in the limit, as the length of a stream of independent and identically-distributed random variable (i.i.d.) data tends to infinity) it is impossible to compress the data such that the code rate (average number of bits per symbol) is less than the Shannon entropy of the source, without it being virtually certain that information will be lost. However it is possible to get the code rate arbitrarily close to the Shannon entropy, with negligible probability of loss. The source coding theorem for symbol codes places an upper and a lower bound on the minimal possible expected length of codewords as a function of the entropy of the input word (which is viewed as a random variable) and of the size of the target alphabet. (Wikipedia).
(IC 3.9) Source coding theorem (optimal lossless compression)
Proof of Shannon's "Source coding theorem", characterizing the entropy as the best possible lossless compression (using block codes) for a discrete memoryless source. A playlist of these videos is available at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE125425EC837021F

(IC 3.10) Relative entropy as the mismatch inefficiency
By considering the inefficiency due to using the wrong probability distribution to design a code using Shannon coding, we arrive at the relative entropy. A playlist of these videos is available at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE125425EC837021F

(IC 3.5) Bounds on optimal expected length
Using Shannon coding, one can get within 1 of the entropy. This gives an upper bound on the expected codeword length of an optimal code. A playlist of these videos is available at: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE125425EC837021F

Huffman Codes: An Information Theory Perspective
Huffman Codes are one of the most important discoveries in the field of data compression. When you first see them, they almost feel obvious in hindsight, mainly due to how simple and elegant the algorithm ends up being. But there's an underlying story of how they were discovered by Huffman
