To get estimators that work within a certain error bound with high probability, a common strategy is to design one that works with constant probability, and then boost the probability using independent repetitions. Important examples of…
In 1-bit compressed sensing, the aim is to estimate a $k$-sparse unit vector $x\in S^{n-1}$ within an $\epsilon$ error (in $\ell_2$) from minimal number of linear measurements that are quantized to just their signs, i.e., from measurements…
We consider distillation of secret bits from partially secret noisy correlations P_ABE, shared between two honest parties and an eavesdropper. The most studied distillation scenario consists of joint operations on a large number of copies…
In this paper we consider memoryless one-bit compressed sensing with randomly subsampled Gaussian circulant matrices. We show that in a small sparsity regime and for small enough accuracy $\delta$, $m\sim \delta^{-4} s\log(N/s\delta)$…
As shown by M\'edard, the capacity of fading channels with imperfect channel-state information (CSI) can be lower-bounded by assuming a Gaussian channel input $X$ with power $P$ and by upper-bounding the conditional entropy $h(X|Y,\hat{H})$…
An additive noise channel is considered, in which the distribution of the noise is nonparametric and unknown. The problem of learning encoders and decoders based on noise samples is considered. For uncoded communication systems, the problem…

We consider the discrete memoryless symmetric primitive relay channel, where, a source $X$ wants to send information to a destination $Y$ with the help of a relay $Z$ and the relay can communicate to the destination via an error-free…
Communicating information, like gradient vectors, between computing nodes in distributed and federated learning is typically an unavoidable burden, resulting in scalability issues. Indeed, communication might be slow and costly. Recent…
We introduce the study of information leakage through \emph{guesswork}, the minimum expected number of guesses required to guess a random variable. In particular, we define \emph{maximal guesswork leakage} as the multiplicative decrease,…
Sensor systems are constrained by design and finding top sensor channel(s) for a given computational task is an important but hard problem. We define an optimization framework and mathematically formulate the minimum-cost channel selection…
We introduce the two user finite state compound Gaussian interference channel and characterize its capacity region to within one bit. The main contributions involve both novel inner and outer bounds. The inner bound is multilevel…
We study the following private data transfer problem: Alice has a database of files. Bob and Cathy want to access a file each from this database (which may or may not be the same file), but each of them wants to ensure that their choices of…
Recently, Etkin, Tse, and Wang found the capacity region of the two-user Gaussian interference channel to within one bit/s/Hz. A natural goal is to apply this approach to the Gaussian interference channel with an arbitrary number of users.…
We generalize the random coding argument of stabilizer codes and derive a lower bound on the quantum capacity of an arbitrary discrete memoryless quantum channel. For the depolarizing channel, our lower bound coincides with that obtained by…
One of the primary challenges in large-scale distributed learning stems from stringent communication constraints. While several recent works address this challenge for static optimization problems, sequential decision-making under…

We give two upper bounds to the mutual information in arbitrary quantum estimation strategies. The first is based on some simple Fourier properties of the estimation apparatus. The second is derived using the first but, interestingly,…
