The rate-distortion saddle-point problem considered by Lapidoth (1997) consists in finding the minimum rate to compress an arbitrary ergodic source when one is constrained to use a random Gaussian codebook and minimum (Euclidean) distance…

We deal with zero-delay source coding of a vector Gaussian autoregressive (AR) source subject to an average mean squared error (MSE) fidelity criterion. Toward this end, we consider the nonanticipative rate distortion function (NRDF) which…

This paper studies a variant of the rate-distortion problem motivated by task-oriented semantic communication and distributed learning systems, where $M$ correlated sources are independently encoded for a central decoder. The decoder has…

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,…

We consider a multiterminal source coding problem in which a source is estimated at a central processing unit from lossy-compressed remote observations. Each lossy-encoded observation is produced by a remote sensor which obtains a noisy…

This paper considers lossy source coding of $n$-dimensional memoryless sources and shows an explicit approximation to the minimum source coding rate required to sustain the probability of exceeding distortion $d$ no greater than $\epsilon$,…

The rate-distortion performance of neural image compression models has exceeded the state-of-the-art for non-learned codecs, but neural codecs are still far from widespread deployment and adoption. The largest obstacle is having efficient…

We consider a rate-distortion problem with side information at multiple decoders. Several upper and lower bounds have been proposed for this general problem or special cases of it. We provide an upper bound for general instances of this…

We investigate the upper and lower bounds on the quantization distortions for independent and identically distributed sources in the finite block-length regime. Based on the convex optimization framework of the rate-distortion theory, we…

An encoder, subject to a rate constraint, wishes to describe a Gaussian source under squared error distortion. The decoder, besides receiving the encoder's description, also observes side information consisting of uncompressed source symbol…

In this paper, we consider the rate-distortion-perception (RDP) trade-off for the lossy compression of a Bernoulli vector source, which is a finite collection of independent binary random variables. The RDP function quantifies in a way the…

We present a novel systematic theoretical framework to analyze the rate-distortion (R-D) limits of learned image compression. While recent neural codecs have achieved remarkable empirical results, their distance from the…
