    The document discusses information theory and defines entropy as measuring information in bits, with ΔS quantifying the number of bits of information a fact reveals about a target based on the probability of that fact, such that highly improbable facts provide more identifying information. It gives an example showing it would take about 32.8 bits of information to deduce the identity of a person from the current world population size.

    Information Theory

    ΔS = - log2 Pr(X=x)

    ● The amount of info a fact gives about an entity is measured in bits.


    ● Entropy (S) measures information in bits.
    ● ΔS measures how many bits of information the fact X reveals about a
    target.
    ● Population of earth at the time of recording this lecture is 7714576923.
    ● Therefore we need Log2(1 / 7714576923) = 32.8 bits of information to deduce
    the identity of a person!
