Rate-Distortion Theory
A core branch of information theory established by Shannon in 1959. It studies the minimum information required to describe a source under a permitted level of reconstruction error, characterizing the fundamental tradeoff between coding rate and distortion.

Rate-distortion theory was established by Shannon in 1959, studying the minimum coding rate required to describe a source under a permitted level of distortion.
Rate-distortion theory was proposed by Claude Shannon and studies the minimum extent to which data can be compressed given a tolerated level of information distortion.
Rate-distortion theory, proposed by Claude Shannon, studies the minimum level to which data can be compressed given a specified distortion tolerance.
The choice of bottleneck dimensionality is essentially a trade-off between information compression rate and reconstruction quality, corresponding to rate-distortion theory; Shannon proved in 1959 that there exists a theoretical minimum coding rate lower bound for a given distortion tolerance.
