A fundamental question in data science is: how much information can one extract from the data that one collects?
Answering this question sheds
light on the possibilities, but also on the fundamental limitations, of
statistical methods and algorithms. In this talk, I will present some
problems in mathematical statistics and machine learning in the light of
information theory.
