Via Tara Javidi I heard about a new blog on information theory: the Information Theory b-log, which has been going for a few months now but I guess in more “stealth mode.” It’s mostly posts by Sergio Verdú, with some initial posting by Thomas Courtade, but the most recent post is by Tara on how to compare random variables from a decision point of view. However, as Max noted:

All researchers work­ing on infor­ma­tion the­ory are invited to par­tic­i­pate by post­ing items to the blog. Both orig­i­nal mate­r­ial and point­ers to the web are welcome.
