Batch codes are a useful notion of locality for error correcting codes, originally introduced in the context of distributed storage and cryptography. Many constructions of batch codes have been given, but few lower bound (limitation)…
Erasure coding techniques are getting integrated in networked distributed storage systems as a way to provide fault-tolerance at the cost of less storage overhead than traditional replication. Redundancy is maintained over time through…
In this paper, we construct systematic $q$-ary two-deletion correcting codes and burst-deletion correcting codes, where $q\geq 2$ is an even integer. For two-deletion codes, our construction has redundancy $5\log n+O(\log q\log\log n)$ and…
We investigate the stopping redundancy hierarchy of linear block codes and its connection to permutation decoding techniques. An element in the ordered list of stopping redundancy values represents the smallest number of possibly linearly…
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) codes check if a codeword is correctly received. This paper presents an algorithm to design CRC codes that are optimized for the code-specific error behavior of a specified feedforward convolutional code. The…
Due to their sequential nature, traditional DNA synthesis methods are expensive in terms of time and resources. They also fabricate multiple copies of the same strand, introducing redundancy. This redundancy can be leveraged to enhance the…
In the racetrack acceleration model, proposed by Martin Gardner in 1973, each step consists of changing the position of the vehicle by a vector in $\mathbb{Z}^2$, with the constraints that two consecutive vectors differ by at most one unit…
We consider a neural network (NN) that may experience memory faults and computational errors. In this paper, we propose a novel real-number-based error correction code (ECC) capable of detecting and correcting both memory errors and…
The sequence reconstruction problem, introduced by Levenshtein in 2001, considers a communication scenario where the sender transmits a codeword from some codebook and the receiver obtains multiple noisy reads of the codeword. Motivated by…
The efficiency of a code is estimated by its redundancy $R$, while the complexity of a code is estimated by its average delay $\bar N$. In this work we construct word-based codes, for which $R \lesssim \bar N^{-5/3}$. Therefore, word-based…
Sequence segmentation is a well-studied problem, where given a sequence of elements, an integer K, and some measure of homogeneity, the task is to split the sequence into K contiguous segments that are maximally homogeneous. A classic…
The sequence reconstruction problem for insertion/deletion channels has attracted significant attention owing to their applications recently in some emerging data storage systems, such as racetrack memories, DNA-based data storage. Our goal…
Motivated by DNA-based storage applications, we study the problem of reconstructing a coded sequence from multiple traces. We consider the model where the traces are outputs of independent deletion channels, where each channel deletes each…
For $k\geq 3$, a k-rollercoaster is a sequence of numbers whose every maximal contiguous subsequence, that is increasing or decreasing, has length at least $k$; $3$-rollercoasters are called simply rollercoasters. Given a sequence of…
Large disk arrays are organized into storage nodes -- SNs or bricks with their own cashed RAID controller for multiple disks. Erasure coding at SN level is attained via parity or Reed-Solomon codes. Hierarchical RAID -- HRAID -- provides an…
Existing gradient coding schemes introduce identical redundancy across the coordinates of gradients and hence cannot fully utilize the computation results from partial stragglers. This motivates the introduction of diverse redundancies…
In the Cograph Deletion (resp., Cograph Editing) problem the input is a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, and the goal is to decide whether there is a set of edges of size at most $k$ whose removal from $G$ (resp., removal and addition to $G$)…
An indel refers to a single insertion or deletion, while an edit refers to a single insertion, deletion or substitution. In this paper, we investigate codes that combat either a single indel or a single edit and provide linear-time…
We consider the problem of constructing codes that can correct $\delta$ deletions occurring in an arbitrary binary string of length $n$ bits. Varshamov-Tenengolts (VT) codes can correct all possible single deletions $(\delta=1)$ with an…
The automatic collection of stack traces in bug tracking systems is an integral part of many software projects and their maintenance. However, such reports often contain a lot of duplicates, and the problem of de-duplicating them into…
