In the context of lossy compression, Blau & Michaeli (2019) adopt a mathematical notion of perceptual quality and define the information rate-distortion-perception function, generalizing the classical rate-distortion tradeoff. We consider…
We investigate the Wyner-Ziv coding in which the statistics of the principal source is known but the statistics of the channel generating the side-information is unknown except that it is in a certain class. The class consists of channels…
This paper takes a rate-distortion approach to understanding the information-theoretic laws governing cache-aided communications systems. Specifically, we characterise the optimal tradeoffs between the delivery rate, cache capacity and…
We derive quantum counterparts of two key theorems of classical information theory, namely, the rate distortion theorem and the source-channel separation theorem. The rate-distortion theorem gives the ultimate limits on lossy data…
We present a new inner bound for the rate region of the $t$-stage successive-refinement problem with side-information. We also present a new upper bound for the rate-distortion function for lossy-source coding with multiple decoders and…
We consider the variable-to-fixed length lossy source coding (VFSC) problem. The optimal compression rate of the average length of variable-to-fixed source coding, allowing a non-vanishing probability of excess-distortion $\varepsilon$, is…
We consider a multiterminal source coding problem in which a source is estimated at a central processing unit from lossy-compressed remote observations. Each lossy-encoded observation is produced by a remote sensor which obtains a noisy…

A Causal rate distortion function with a general fidelity criterion is formulated on abstract alphabets and the optimal reconstruction kernel is derived, which consists of a product of causal kernels. In the process, general abstract spaces…
Detecting the High impedance fault (HIF) in distribution systems plays an important role in power utilization safety. However, many HIFs are challenging to be identified due to their low currents and diverse characteristics. In particular,…
We consider the recovery of a continuous-time Wiener process from a quantized or lossy compressed version of its uniform samples under limited bitrate and sampling rate. We derive a closed form expression for the optimal tradeoff among…
This paper investigates the joint compression problem of a vector Gaussian source, where an individual distortion constraint is imposed on each source component. It is known that the rate-distortion function (RDF) is lower-bounded by the…
In this paper, random coding error exponents and cutoff rate are studied for noncoherent Rician fading channels, where neither the receiver nor the transmitter has channel side information. First, it is assumed that the input is subject…
Two typical fixed-length random number generation problems in information theory are considered for general sources. One is the source resolvability problem and the other is the intrinsic randomness problem. In each of these problems, the…
We consider a statistical inverse learning problem, where we observe the image of a function $f$ through a linear operator $A$ at i.i.d. random design points $X_i$, superposed with an additive noise. The distribution of the design points is…
Man-made communications signals are typically modelled as continuous-time (CT) wide-sense cyclostationary (WSCS) processes. As modern processing is digital, it operates on sampled versions of the CT signals. When sampling is applied to a CT…
In this work we investigate the behavior of the distortion threshold that can be guaranteed in joint source-channel coding, to within a prescribed excess-distortion probability. We show that the gap between this threshold and the optimal…
Consider a continuous signal that cannot be observed directly. Instead, one has access to multiple corrupted versions of the signal. The available corrupted signals are correlated because they carry information about the common remote…
Fixed-order perturbative calculations for differential cross sections can suffer from non-physical artifacts: they can be non-positive, non-normalizable, and non-finite, none of which occur in experimental measurements. We propose a…
