Consider a receiver in a multi-user network that wishes to decode several messages. Simultaneous joint typicality decoding is one of the most powerful techniques for determining the fundamental limits at which reliable decoding is possible.…
This paper describes design of a low-complexity algorithm for adaptive encoding/ decoding of binary sequences produced by memoryless sources. The algorithm implements universal block codes constructed for a set of contexts identified by the…
We introduce new yet easily accessible codes for elements of $GL_r(A)$ with $A$ the adelic ring of a (dimension one) function field over a finite field. They are linear codes, and coincide with classical algebraic geometry codes when $r=1$.…
Code large language models (Code LLMs) have made significant progress in code generation by translating natural language descriptions into functional code; however, real-world applications often demand stricter adherence to detailed…
Huffman coding is known to be optimal, yet its dynamic version may be even more efficient in practice. A new variant of Huffman encoding has been proposed recently, that provably always performs better than static Huffman coding by at least…
We consider rate R = k/n causal linear codes that map a sequence of k-dimensional binary vectors {b_t} to a sequence of n-dimensional binary vectors {c_t}, such that each c_t is a function of {b_1,b_2,...,b_t}. Such a code is called anytime…
We give a complete answer to the following basic question: "What is the maximal fraction of deletions or insertions tolerable by $q$-ary list-decodable codes with non-vanishing information rate?" This question has been open even for binary…
We investigate inference of variable-length codes in other domains of computer science, such as noisy information transmission or information retrieval-storage: in such topics, traditionally mostly constant-length codewords act. The study…
Motivated by applications in spatial genomics, we revisit group testing (Dorfman~1943) and propose the class of $\lambda$-{\sf ADD}-codes, studying such codes with certain distance $d$ and codelength $n$. When $d$ is constant, we provide…
The Chapter begins with a discussion of the constraints and needs of video coding systems. The lack in flexibility of traditional monolithic codec specifications, not suitable to model commonalities among codecs and foster reusability among…
In multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) fading channels, the design criterion for full-diversity space-time block codes (STBCs) is primarily determined by the decoding method at the receiver. Although constructions of STBCs have…
We provide a general formulation for the code-based test compression problem with fixed-length input blocks and propose a solution approach based on Evolutionary Algorithms. In contrast to existing code-based methods, we allow unspecified…
The notion of universally decodable matrices (UDMs) was recently introduced by Tavildar and Viswanath while studying slow fading channels. It turns out that the problem of constructing UDMs is tightly connected to the problem of…
In software development through integrated development environments (IDEs), code completion is one of the most widely used features. Nevertheless, majority of integrated development environments only support completion of methods and APIs,…
In this paper, we study the coding delay and the average coding delay of random linear network codes (dense codes) over line networks with deterministic regular and Poisson transmission schedules. We consider both lossless networks and…
The arbitrarily varying channel (AVC) is a channel model whose state is selected maliciously by an adversary. Fixed-blocklength coding assumes a worst-case bound on the adversary's capabilities, which leads to pessimistic results. This…
We consider the problem of lossless compression of binary trees, with the aim of reducing the number of code bits needed to store or transmit such trees. A lossless grammar-based code is presented which encodes each binary tree into a…
This work is on fast encoding and decoding of polar codes. We propose and detail 8-bit and 16-bit parallel decoders that can be used to reduce the decoding latency of the successive-cancellation decoder. These decoders are universal and can…
We initiate the study of what we term ``fast good codes'' with ``fast good duals.'' Specifically, we consider the task of constructing a rate 1/2 binary linear code such that both it and its dual are asymptotically good (in fact, have…
Motivated from the fact that universal source coding on countably infinite alphabets is not feasible, this work introduces the notion of almost lossless source coding. Analog to the weak variable-length source coding problem studied by Han…
