We consider Zador's asymptotic formula for the distortion-rate function for a variable-rate vector quantizer in the high-rate case. This formula involves the differential entropy of the source, the rate of the quantizer in bits per sample,…

We consider a distributed source coding problem of $L$ correlated Gaussian observations $Y_i, i=1,2,...,L$. We assume that the random vector $Y^{L}={}^{\rm t} (Y_1,Y_2,$ $...,Y_L)$ is an observation of the Gaussian random vector…

We propose a lattice-based scheme for secret key generation from Gaussian sources in the presence of an eavesdropper, and show that it achieves the strong secret key capacity in the case of degraded source models, as well as the optimal…

Shannon's rate-distortion theory treats source symbols as unstructured labels. When the source is a knowledge base equipped with a logical proof system, a natural fidelity criterion is closure fidelity: a reconstruction is acceptable if it…

In lossy compression, Blau and Michaeli [5] introduced the information rate-distortion-perception (RDP) function, extending traditional rate-distortion theory by incorporating perceptual quality. More recently, this framework was expanded…

Transformers achieve superior performance on many tasks, but impose heavy compute and memory requirements during inference. This inference can be made more efficient by partitioning the process across multiple devices, which, in turn,…
