Most of the attention in statistical compression is given to the space used by the compressed sequence, a problem completely solved with optimal prefix codes. However, in many applications, the storage space used to represent the prefix…

We study the problem of low-rank tensor factorization in the presence of missing data. We ask the following question: how many sampled entries do we need, to efficiently and exactly reconstruct a tensor with a low-rank orthogonal…

We show how to extend several basic concentration inequalities for simple random tensors $X = x_1 \otimes \cdots \otimes x_d$ where all $x_k$ are independent random vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with independent coefficients. The new results…

We present a new algorithm for finding an $\epsilon$-approximate fixed point of an $\ell_\infty$-contracting function $f : [0, 1]^d \rightarrow [0, 1]^d$. Our algorithm is based on the query-efficient algorithm by Chen, Li, and Yannakakis…

Fair clustering is a constrained variant of clustering where the goal is to partition a set of colored points, such that the fraction of points of any color in every cluster is more or less equal to the fraction of points of this color in…

This paper considers the joint compression of a pair of correlated sources, where the encoder is allowed to access only one of the sources. The objective is to recover both sources under separate distortion constraints for each source while…

We study the problem of generating a random variate $X$ from a finite discrete probability distribution $P$ using an entropy source of independent fair coin flips. A classic result from Knuth and Yao shows that the optimal expected number…

Multi-source-extractors are functions that extract uniform randomness from multiple (weak) sources of randomness. Quantum multi-source-extractors were considered by Kasher and Kempe (for the quantum-independent-adversary and the…

Universal variable-to-fixed (V-F) length coding of $d$-dimensional exponential family of distributions is considered. We propose an achievable scheme consisting of a dictionary, used to parse the source output stream, making use of the…

We present a new lossy compressor for discrete sources. For coding a source sequence $x^n$, the encoder starts by assigning a certain cost to each reconstruction sequence. It then finds the reconstruction that minimizes this cost and…
