Neural compression has brought tremendous progress in designing lossy compressors with good rate-distortion (RD) performance at low complexity. Thus far, neural compression design involves transforming the source to a latent vector, which…

We derive a lower bound on the differential entropy of a log-concave random variable $X$ in terms of the $p$-th absolute moment of $X$. The new bound leads to a reverse entropy power inequality with an explicit constant, and to new bounds…

The problem of variable-rate lossless data compression is considered, for codes with and without prefix constraints. Sharp bounds are derived for the best achievable compression rate of memoryless sources, when the excess-rate probability…

We consider transmission of a continuous amplitude source over an L-block Rayleigh fading $M_t \times M_r$ MIMO channel when the channel state information is only available at the receiver. Since the channel is not ergodic, Shannon's…

The Shannon Noiseless coding theorem (the data-compression principle) asserts that for an information source with an alphabet $\mathcal X=\{0,\ldots ,\ell -1\}$ and an asymptotic equipartition property, one can reduce the number of stored…

A distributed lossy compression network with $L$ encoders and a decoder is considered. Each encoder observes a source and sends a compressed version to the decoder. The decoder produces a joint reconstruction of target signals with the mean…

We prove the existence of codebooks for d-semifaithful lossy compression that are simultaneously universal with respect to both the class of finite-alphabet memoryless sources and the class of all bounded additive distortion measures. By…

We propose a quantum soft-covering problem for a given general quantum channel and one of its output states, which consists in finding the minimum rank of an input state needed to approximate the given channel output. We then prove a…

Since Shannon's foundational work, rate-distortion theory has defined the fundamental limits of lossy compression. Classical results, derived for memoryless and stationary ergodic sources in the asymptotic regime, have shaped both transform…
