A weakly infeasible semidefinite program (SDP) has no feasible solution, but it has approximate solutions whose constraint violation is arbitrarily small. These SDPs are ill-posed and numerically often unsolvable. They are also closely…
In this paper, we propose novel modulation concepts that we call weak composition modulation (WCM) and composition modulation (CM). We use weak and strict compositions of an integer to form codewords of WCM and CM, respectively. For the…

Submodular functions are a broad class of set functions, which naturally arise in diverse areas. Many algorithms have been suggested for the maximization of these functions. Unfortunately, once the function deviates from submodularity, the…

A new form of variational autoencoder (VAE) is developed, in which the joint distribution of data and codes is considered in two (symmetric) forms: ($i$) from observed data fed through the encoder to yield codes, and ($ii$) from latent…
Although deep learning models are highly effective for various learning tasks, their high computational costs prohibit the deployment to scenarios where either memory or computational resources are limited. In this paper, we focus on…
Quantum error correction is rapidly seeing first experimental implementations, but there is a significant gap between asymptotically optimal error-correcting codes and codes that are experimentally feasible. Quantum LDPC codes range from…
