We consider the Cascade and Triangular rate-distortion problems where the same side information is available at the source node and User 1, and the side information available at User 2 is a degraded version of the side information at the…
We study the zero-error source coding problem in which an encoder with Side Information (SI) $g(Y)$ transmits source symbols $X$ to a decoder. The decoder has SI $Y$ and wants to recover $f(X,Y)$ where $f,g$ are deterministic. We exhibit a…
We study the two-user broadcast channel with degraded message sets and derive second-order achievability rate regions. Specifically, the channel noises are not necessarily Gaussian and we use spherical codebooks for both users. The weak…
The problem of broadcasting a pair of correlated Gaussian sources using optimal separate source and channel codes is studied. Considerable performance gains over previously known separate source-channel schemes are observed. Although…
Dual-encoder structure successfully utilizes two language-specific encoders (LSEs) for code-switching speech recognition. Because LSEs are initialized by two pre-trained language-specific models (LSMs), the dual-encoder structure can…
Barcodes are ubiquitous and have been used in most of critical daily activities for decades. However, most of traditional decoders require well-founded barcode under a relatively standard condition. While wilder conditioned barcodes such as…
