Tardos codes are currently the state-of-the-art in the design of practical collusion-resistant fingerprinting codes. Tardos codes rely on a secret vector drawn from a publicly known probability distribution in order to generate each Buyer's…

We study blind fingerprinting, where the host sequence into which fingerprints are embedded is partially or completely unknown to the decoder. This problem relates to a multiuser version of the Gel'fand-Pinsker problem. The number of…
Iterative decoding was not originally introduced as the solution to an optimization problem rendering the analysis of its convergence very difficult. In this paper, we investigate the link between iterative decoding and classical…
Multi-task learning of dense prediction tasks, by sharing both the encoder and decoder, as opposed to sharing only the encoder, provides an attractive front to increase both accuracy and computational efficiency. When the tasks are similar,…
We study the large-coalition asymptotics of fingerprinting and group testing, and derive explicit decoders that provably achieve capacity for many of the considered models. We do this both for simple decoders (fast but suboptimal) and for…

We introduce the notion of two-level fingerprinting and traceability codes. In this setting, the users are organized in a hierarchical manner by classifying them into various groups; for instance, by dividing the distribution area into…
We consider joint detection of co-channel signals---specifically, signals which do not possess a natural separability due to, for example, the multiple access technique or the use of multiple antennas. Iterative joint detection and decoding…
