In the communication problem $\mathbf{UR}$ (universal relation) [KRW95], Alice and Bob respectively receive $x, y \in\{0,1\}^n$ with the promise that $x\neq y$. The last player to receive a message must output an index $i$ such that…

We derive a new upper bound on the reliability function for channel coding over discrete memoryless channels. Our bounding technique relies on two main elements: (i) adding an auxiliary genie-receiver that reveals to the original receiver a…
Assume Alice and Bob share some bipartite $d$-dimensional quantum state. A well-known result in quantum mechanics says that by performing two-outcome measurements, Alice and Bob can produce correlations that cannot be obtained locally,…
An upper bound on the feedback capacity of unifilar finite-state channels (FSCs) is derived. A new technique, called the $Q$-contexts, is based on a construction of a directed graph that is used to quantize recursively the receiver's output…
We develop a novel framework for proving converse theorems for channel coding, which is based on the analysis technique of multicast transmission with an additional auxiliary receiver, which serves as a genie to the original receiver. The…
Common randomness (CR), as a resource, is not commonly exploited in existing practical communication systems. In the CR generation framework, both the sender and receiver aim to generate a common random variable observable to both, ideally…

We consider a linear regression model, with the parameter of interest a specified linear combination of the regression parameter vector. We suppose that, as a first step, a data-based model selection (e.g. by preliminary hypothesis tests or…

We prove multi-pass streaming lower bounds for uniformity testing over a domain of size $2m$. The tester receives a stream of $n$ i.i.d. samples and must distinguish (i) the uniform distribution on $[2m]$ from (ii) a Paninski-style planted…
This paper investigates the capacity of a wireless two way relay channel in which two end nodes exchange information via a relay node. The capacity is defined in the information-theoretic sense as the maximum information exchange rate…
