In this paper we introduce and investigate rank-metric intersecting codes, a new class of linear codes in the rank-metric context, inspired by the well-studied notion of intersecting codes in the Hamming metric. A rank-metric code is said…
Fractional repetition (FR) codes are a class of repair efficient erasure codes that can recover a failed storage node with both optimal repair bandwidth and complexity. In this paper, we study the minimum distance of FR codes, which is the…
The huge amount of information stored in text form makes methods that deal with texts really interesting. This thesis focuses on dealing with texts using compression distances. More specifically, the thesis takes a small step towards…
Peer-to-peer distributed storage systems provide reliable access to data through redundancy spread over nodes across the Internet. A key goal is to minimize the amount of bandwidth used to maintain that redundancy. Storing a file using an…
A sum-rank-metric code attaining the Singleton bound is called maximum sum-rank distance (MSRD). MSRD codes have been constructed for some parameter cases. In this paper we construct a linear MSRD code over an arbitrary field ${\bf F}_q$…
In the past few years, the study of receptive field codes has been of large interest to mathematicians. Here we give a complete characterization of receptive field codes realizable by connected receptive fields and we give the minimal…
Random network coding recently attracts attention as a technique to disseminate information in a network. This paper considers a non-coherent multi-shot network, where the unknown and time-variant network is used several times. In order to…
The locally repairable code (LRC) studied in this paper is an $[n,k]$ linear code of which the value at each coordinate can be recovered by a linear combination of at most $r$ other coordinates. The central problem in this work is to…
This book aims to provide an introduction to the topic of deep learning algorithms. We review essential components of deep learning algorithms in full mathematical detail including different artificial neural network (ANN) architectures…
Recursive decoding techniques are considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes of growing length $n$ and fixed order $r.$ An algorithm is designed that has complexity of order $n\log n$ and corrects most error patterns of weight up to…
Locally repairable codes (LRCs) are considered with equal or unequal localities, local distances and local field sizes. An explicit two-layer architecture with a sum-rank outer code is obtained, having disjoint local groups and achieving…
Erasure codes are being increasingly used in distributed-storage systems in place of data-replication, since they provide the same level of reliability with much lower storage overhead. We consider the problem of constructing explicit…
In this paper motivated from subspace coding we introduce subspace-metric codes and subset-metric codes. These are coordinate-position independent pseudometrics and suitable for the folded codes. The half-Singleton upper bounds for linear…
Over the past few decades, there has been extensive research on scattered subspaces, partly because of their link to MRD codes. These subspaces can be characterized using linearized polynomials over finite fields. Within this context,…
Maximum Hermitian rank metric codes were introduced by Schmidt in 2018 and in this paper we propose both interpolation-based encoding and decoding algorithms for this family of codes when the length and the minimum distance of the code are…
We investigate the task of retrieving information from compositional distributed representations formed by Hyperdimensional Computing/Vector Symbolic Architectures and present novel techniques which achieve new information rate bounds.…
Maximum rank-distance (MRD) codes are extremal codes in the space of $m\times n$ matrices over a finite field, equipped with the rank metric. Up to generalizations, the classical examples of such codes were constructed in the 1970s and are…
We present a closed-form expression for the minimal delay that is achievable in a setting that combines a buffer and an erasure code, used to mitigate the packet delay variance. The erasure code is modeled according to the recent…

In 1998 Crandall introduced a method based on coding theory to secretly embed a message in a digital support such as an image. Later Fridrich et al. improved this method to minimize the distortion introduced by the embedding; a process…
