If you have a question about this talk, please contact Matthew Ireland.

Reliable transmission in the internet is easy: the receiver simply requests retransmission of lost packets. What about networks where receivers can’t tell us which packets got lost/corrupted? This talk will explore a class of error correcting codes that provide a surprisingly effective solution to this problem.

Starting from a naive repetition based code we will analyse why it fails and use this insight to build successively better codes before reaching something with real world usability.
