Source coding with a side information "vending machine" is a recently proposed framework in which the statistical relationship between the side information and the source, instead of being given and fixed as in the classical Wyner-Ziv…

We study source coding in the presence of side information, when the system can take actions that affect the availability, quality, or nature of the side information. We begin by extending the Wyner-Ziv problem of source coding with decoder…

We consider the problem of successive-refinement coding for lossy compression of individual sequences, namely, compression in two stages, where in the first stage, a coarse description at a relatively low rate is sent from the encoder to…

This paper addresses the problem of coding a continuous random source correlated with another source which is only available at the decoder. The proposed approach is based on the extension of the channel coding concept of syndrome from the…

We consider the $k$-user successive refinement problem with causal decoder side information and derive an exponential strong converse theorem. The rate-distortion region for the problem can be derived as a straightforward extension of the…

We consider a source coding problem with a network scenario in mind, and formulate it as a remote vector Gaussian Wyner-Ziv problem under covariance matrix distortions. We define a notion of minimum for two positive-definite matrices based…

We consider a rate-distortion problem with side information at multiple decoders. Several upper and lower bounds have been proposed for this general problem or special cases of it. We provide an upper bound for general instances of this…

Consider a source that produces independent copies of a triplet of jointly distributed random variables, $\{X_{i},Y_{i},Z_{i}\}_{i=1}^{\infty}$. The process $\{X_{i}\}$ is observed at the encoder, and is supposed to be reproduced at two…

Let $X,Y$ be jointly Gaussian vectors, and consider random variables $U,V$ that satisfy the Markov constraint $U-X-Y-V$. We prove an extremal inequality relating the mutual informations between all ${4 \choose 2}$ pairs of random variables…

In this work, the rate region of the vector Gaussian multiple description problem with individual and central quadratic distortion constraints is studied. In particular, an outer bound to the rate region of the L-description problem is…

Consider the two-way rate-distortion problem in which a helper sends a common limited-rate message to both users based on side information at its disposal. We characterize the region of achievable rates and distortions where a Markov form…

This paper offers a characterization of fundamental limits on the classification and reconstruction of high-dimensional signals from low-dimensional features, in the presence of side information. We consider a scenario where a decoder has…

In the Wyner-Ziv source coding problem, a source $X$ has to be encoded while the decoder has access to side information $Y$. This paper investigates the indirect setup, in which a latent source $S$, unobserved by both the encoder and the…
