Abstract
This note is a written and extended version of the Shannon Lecture I gave at 2019 International Symposium on Information Theory. It gives an account of the original ideas that motivated the development of polar coding and discusses some new ideas for exploiting channel polarization more effectively in order to improve the performance of polar codes.
