The problem of reconstructing strings from their substring spectra has a long history and in its most simple incarnation asks for determining under which conditions the spectrum uniquely determines the string. We study the problem of coded…
To make DNA a suitable medium for archival data storage, it is essential to consider the decay process of the strands observed in DNA storage systems. This paper studies the decay process as a probabilistic noisy torn paper channel (TPC),…

A weakly constrained code is a collection of finite-length strings over a finite alphabet in which certain substrings or patterns occur according to some prescribed frequencies. Buzaglo and Siegel (ITW 2017) gave a construction of weakly…
By a locally recoverable code (LRC), we will in this paper, mean a linear code in which a given code symbol can be recovered by taking a linear combination of at most $r$ other code symbols with $r << k$. A natural extension is to the local…
In this paper, we study error-correcting codes for the storage of data in synthetic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). We investigate a storage model where data is represented by an unordered set of $M$ sequences, each of length $L$. Errors…

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…

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are powerful sequence modeling tools. However, when dealing with high dimensional inputs, the training of RNNs becomes computational expensive due to the large number of model parameters. This hinders RNNs…
