In this work, we study linear error-correcting codes against adversarial insertion-deletion (indel) errors. While most constructions for the indel model are nonlinear, linear codes offer compact representations, efficient encoding, and…

An index code for broadcast channel with receiver side information is locally decodable if each receiver can decode its demand by observing only a subset of the transmitted codeword symbols instead of the entire codeword. Local decodability…

Linear codes correcting one deletions have rate at most $1/2$. In this paper, we construct linear list decodable codes correcting edits with rate approaching $1$ and reasonable list size. Our encoder and decoder run in polynomial time.

We show that expander codes, when properly instantiated, are high-rate list recoverable codes with linear-time list recovery algorithms. List recoverable codes have been useful recently in constructing efficiently list-decodable codes, as…

We analyze the list-decodability, and related notions, of random linear codes. This has been studied extensively before: there are many different parameter regimes and many different variants. Previous works have used complementary styles…

This paper studies \emph{linear} and \emph{affine} error-correcting codes for correcting synchronization errors such as insertions and deletions. We call such codes linear/affine insdel codes. Linear codes that can correct even a single…

This paper considers insertion and deletion channels with the additional assumption that the channel input sequence is implicitly divided into segments such that at most one edit can occur within a segment. No segment markers are available…

A systematic convolutional encoder of rate $(n-1)/n$ and maximum degree $D$ generates a code of free distance at most ${\cal D} = D+2$ and, at best, a column distance profile (CDP) of $[2,3,\ldots,{\cal D}]$. A code is \emph{Maximum…

We present a construction of subspace codes along with an efficient algorithm for list decoding from both insertions and deletions, handling an information-theoretically maximum fraction of these with polynomially small rate. Our…

Guess & Check (GC) codes are systematic binary codes that can correct multiple deletions, with high probability. GC codes have logarithmic redundancy in the length of the message $k$, and the encoding and decoding algorithms of these codes…

The insertion-deletion codes were motivated to correct the synchronization errors. In this paper we prove several coordinate-ordering-free upper bounds on the insdel distances of linear codes, which are based on the generalized Hamming…

We characterise bounds on the optimal broadcast rate for a few classes of pliable-index-coding instances. Unlike the majority of currently solved instances, which belong to a special class where all receivers with a certain side-information…

In this work, we consider the problem of efficient decoding of codes from insertions and deletions. Most of the known efficient codes are codes with synchronization strings which allow one to reduce the problem of decoding insertions and…

In the pliable variant of index coding, receivers are allowed to decode any new message not known a priori. Optimal code design for this variant involves identifying each receiver's choice of a new message that minimises the overall…
