Information Theory Society
The Â鶹´«Ã½AV Information Theory Society is the premier professional society dedicated to the advancement of the mathematical underpinnings of information technology for the benefit of humanity. Information theory encompasses the processing, transmission, storage, and use of information, and the foundations of the communication process.
Aspects of Our Society
Outreach
A gathering of videos, books and more that show how information theory impacts our lives.Meet IT Society Students

Research In Information Theory
We develop data processing inequalities that describe how Fisher information from statistical samples can scale with the privacy parameter $\varepsilon $ under local differential privacy constraints. These bounds are valid under general conditions on the distribution of the score of the statistical model, and they elucidate under which conditions the dependence on $\varepsilon $ is linear, quadratic, or exponential.
