We consider the problem of lossy source coding with side information under a privacy constraint that the reconstruction sequence at a decoder should be kept secret to a certain extent from another terminal such as an eavesdropper, a sender,…
This work investigates functional source coding problems with maximal distortion, motivated by approximate function computation in many modern applications. The maximal distortion treats imprecise reconstruction of a function value as good…
Rate-distortion optimization (RDO) of codecs, where distortion is quantified by the mean-square error, has been a standard practice in image/video compression over the years. RDO serves well for optimization of codec performance for…

Let (S1,i, S2,i), distributed according to i.i.d p(s1, s2), i = 1, 2, . . . be a memoryless, correlated partial side information sequence. In this work we study channel coding and source coding problems where the partial side information…
We study lossy compression of a finite statement source generated in a fixed deductive environment. The source symbols are statements in a knowledge base endowed with a shared proof system, and reconstruction fidelity is measured by…
We consider finite blocklength lossy compression of information sources whose components are independent but non-identically distributed. Crucially, Gaussian sources with memory and quadratic distortion can be cast in this form. We show…
This paper studies channel coding for the discrete memoryless multiple-access channel with a given (possibly suboptimal) decoding rule. A multi-letter successive decoding rule depending on an arbitrary non-negative decoding metric is…
We consider source coding with fixed lag side information at the decoder. We focus on the special case of perfect side information with unit lag corresponding to source coding with feedforward (the dual of channel coding with feedback)…
We consider the problem of multiple description scalar quantizers and describing the achievable rate-distortion tuples in that setting. We formulate it as a combinatorial optimization problem of arranging numbers in a matrix to minimize the…
Lossy coding of correlated sources over a multiple access channel (MAC) is studied. First, a joint source-channel coding scheme is presented when the decoder has correlated side information. Next, the optimality of separate source and…
In this paper, we propose a lattice-based robust distributed source coding system for two correlated sources and provide a detailed performance analysis under the high resolution assumption. It is shown, among other things, that, in the…
Perception-aware lossy source coding has attracted significant recent interest. It augments the classical distortion criterion with an explicit perception constraint, thereby enabling more refined control over fidelity and perceptual…
We investigate whether uncoded schemes are optimal for Gaussian sources on multiuser Gaussian channels. Particularly, we consider two problems: the first is to send correlated Gaussian sources on a Gaussian broadcast channel where each…
We consider both channel coding and source coding, with perfect past feedback/feedforward, in the presence of side information. It is first observed that feedback does not increase the capacity of the Gel'fand-Pinsker channel, nor does…
We consider a problem where a memoryless bi-variate Gaussian source is to be transmitted over an additive white Gaussian multiple-access channel with two transmitting terminals and one receiving terminal. The first transmitter only sees the…
