Several basic results are discussed, as well as applications to a number of fields, including, of course, information theory.

It is an overview of relative entropy (aka Kulback-Leibler divergence, etc.)   and its multiple appearances in information theory, probability, and statistics, including recent results by the speaker.

Cheers,
