Communication of quantized information is frequently followed by a computation. We consider situations of \emph{distributed functional scalar quantization}: distributed scalar quantization of (possibly correlated) sources followed by…
Regular functions from infinite words to infinite words can be equivalently specified by MSO-transducers, streaming $\omega$-string transducers as well as deterministic two-way transducers with look-ahead. In their one-way restriction, the…
Transfer entropy provides a general tool for analyzing the magnitudes and directions---but not the \emph{kinds}---of information transfer in a system. We extend transfer entropy in two complementary ways. First, we distinguish…

Quantum state transfer protocols are a major toolkit in many quantum information processing tasks, from quantum key distribution to quantum computation. To assess performance of a such a protocol, one often relies on the average fidelity…
We provide new statistical guarantees for transfer learning via representation learning--when transfer is achieved by learning a feature representation shared across different tasks. This enables learning on new tasks using far less data…
The poles and zeros of a transfer function can be studied by various means. The main motivation of the present paper is to give a state-space description of the module theoretic definition of zeros introduced and analyzed by Wyman et al.…
Program induction for answering complex questions over knowledge bases (KBs) aims to decompose a question into a multi-step program, whose execution against the KB produces the final answer. Learning to induce programs relies on a large…
Machine learning systems such as large scale recommendation systems or natural language processing systems are usually trained on billions of training points and are associated with hundreds of billions or trillions of parameters. Improving…
Multi-channel Multi-tone Active Noise Equalizers can achieve different user-selected noise spectrum profiles even at different space positions. They can apply a different equalization factor at each noise frequency component and each…
Transfer effects manifest themselves both during training using a fixed data set and in inductive inference using accumulating data. We hypothesize that perturbing the data set by including more samples, instead of perturbing the model by…
Symbolic Mathematical tasks such as integration often require multiple well-defined steps and understanding of sub-tasks to reach a solution. To understand Transformers' abilities in such tasks in a fine-grained manner, we deviate from…
Program synthesis is the process of automatically translating a specification into computer code. Traditional synthesis settings require a formal, precise specification. Motivated by computer education applications where a student learns to…
Transfer in reinforcement learning refers to the notion that generalization should occur not only within a task but also across tasks. We propose a transfer framework for the scenario where the reward function changes between tasks but the…
