We characterize information as risk reduction between knowledge states represented by partitions of the underlying probability space. Entropy corresponds to risk reduction from no (or partial) knowledge to full knowledge about a random…
The decode-forward achievable region is studied for general networks. The region is subject to a fundamental tension in which nodes individually benefit at the expense of others. The complexity of the region depends on all the ways of…
Hybrid IP networks that use both control paradigms - distributed and centralized - promise the best of two worlds: programmability and agility of SDN, and reliability and fault tolerance of distributed routing protocols like OSPF. The…

Traditional recommendation systems are faced with two long-standing obstacles, namely, data sparsity and cold-start problems, which promote the emergence and development of Cross-Domain Recommendation (CDR). The core idea of CDR is to…
