We study Bayesian persuasion under approximate best response, where the receiver may choose any action that is not too much suboptimal given their posterior belief upon receiving the signal. We focus on the computational aspects of the…
We consider the problem of covert communication with random slot selection over binary-input Discrete Memoryless Channels and Additive White Gaussian Noise channels, in which a transmitter attempts to reliably communicate with a legitimate…
This paper explores how ambiguity affects communication. We consider a cheap talk model in which the receiver evaluates the sender's message with respect to its worst-case expected payoff generated by multiplier preferences. We characterize…
New upper bounds on the sum capacity of the two-user Gaussian interference channel are derived. Using these bounds, it is shown that treating interference as noise achieves the sum capacity if the interference levels are below certain…
As conventional communication systems based on classic information theory have closely approached the limits of Shannon channel capacity, semantic communication has been recognized as a key enabling technology for the further improvement of…
The concept of optimal communication channels shapes our understanding of wave-based communication. Its analysis, however, always pertains to specific communication-domain geometries, without a general theory of scaling laws or fundamental…
We study optimal rates for quantum communication over a single use of a channel, which itself can correspond to a finite number of uses of a channel with arbitrarily correlated noise. The corresponding capacity is often referred to as the…
The commitment power of senders distinguishes Bayesian persuasion problems from other games with (strategic) communication. Persuasion games with multiple senders have largely studied simultaneous commitment and signalling settings.…
A joint communication and channel state estimation problem is investigated, in which reliable information transmission over a noisy channel, and high-fidelity estimation of the channel state, are simultaneously sought. The tradeoff between…
An inner bound to the capacity region of a class of deterministic interference channels with three user pairs is presented. The key idea is to simultaneously decode the combined interference signal and the intended message at each receiver.…
A minimal model for gene expression, consisting of a switchable promoter together with the resulting messenger RNA, is equivalent to a Poisson channel with a binary Markovian input process. Determining its capacity is an optimization…
Persuasion studies how a principal can influence agents' decisions via strategic information revelation --- often described as a signaling scheme --- in order to yield the most desirable equilibrium outcome. Recently, there has been a large…
We consider an optimal stopping problem with n correlated offers where the goal is to design a (randomized) stopping strategy that maximizes the expected value of the offer in the sequence at which we stop. Instead of assuming to know the…
We investigate the problem of information theoretically secure communication in a line network with erasure channels and state feedback. We consider a spectrum of cases for the private randomness that intermediate nodes can generate,…
Perceptions of political bias in the media are formed directly, through the independent consumption of the published outputs of a media organization, and indirectly, through observing the collective responses of political allies and…
Recent outer bounds on the capacity region of Gaussian interference channels are generalized to $m$-user channels with $m>2$ and asymmetric powers and crosstalk coefficients. The bounds are again shown to give the sum-rate capacity for…
This work focus on the effects of an external mass media on continuous opinion dynamics with heterogeneous bounds of confidence. We modified the original Deffuant et al. and Hegselmann and Krause models to incorporate both, an external mass…
The capacity of time-varying channels with periodic feedback at the transmitter is evaluated. It is assumed that the channel state information is perfectly known at the receiver and is fed back to the transmitter at the regular…
This paper studies the problem of secure communication over the broadcast channel with receiver side information under the lens of individual secrecy constraints. That is, the transmitter wants to send two independent messages to two…
In Bayesian persuasion, an informed sender strategically discloses information to a receiver so as to persuade them to undertake desirable actions. Recently, a growing attention has been devoted to settings in which sender and receivers…
