We consider lossy compression of a binary symmetric source by means of a low-density generator-matrix code. We derive two lower bounds on the rate distortion function which are valid for any low-density generator-matrix code with a given…
The rate-distortion curve captures the fundamental tradeoff between compression length and resolution in lossy data compression. However, it conceals the underlying dynamics of optimal source encodings or test channels. We argue that these…
The rate-distortion-perception function (RDPF; Blau and Michaeli, 2019) has emerged as a useful tool for thinking about realism and distortion of reconstructions in lossy compression. Unlike the rate-distortion function, however, it is…

The problem of joint source-channel coding is considered for a stationary remote (noisy) Gaussian source and a Gaussian channel. The encoder and decoder are assumed to be causal and their combined operations are subject to a delay…
We consider convex and nonconvex constrained optimization with a partially separable objective function: agents minimize the sum of local objective functions, each of which is known only by the associated agent and depends on the variables…
This paper characterizes the second-order coding rates for lossy source coding with side information available at both the encoder and the decoder. We first provide non-asymptotic bounds for this problem and then specialize the…

We consider a class of popular distributed non-convex optimization problems, in which agents connected by a network $\mathcal{G}$ collectively optimize a sum of smooth (possibly non-convex) local objective functions. We address the…
We examine the coordinated and universal rate-efficient sampling of a subset of correlated discrete memoryless sources followed by lossy compression of the sampled sources. The goal is to reconstruct a predesignated subset of sources within…
We consider the problem of lossy source coding with a mismatched distortion measure. That is, we investigate what distortion guarantees can be made with respect to distortion measure $\tilde{\rho}$, for a source code designed such that it…
The exponential strong converse for a coding problem states that, if a coding rate is beyond the theoretical limit, the correct probability converges to zero exponentially. For the lossy source coding with side-information, also known as…
This paper deals with the numerical computation of the least singular value of a rectangular matrix $A$ relative to a pair of closed convex cones $(P,Q)$, which is defined as the optimal value of the non-convex optimization problem of…
We address the inverse problem of designing two-dimensional reflectors that transform light from a finite, extended source into a prescribed far-field distribution. The reflector height is represented by a neural network and optimized with…
We investigate the second order asymptotics (source dispersion) of the successive refinement problem. Similarly to the classical definition of a successively refinable source, we say that a source is strongly successively refinable if…
We prove achievability of the recently characterized quadratic Gaussian rate-distortion function (RDF) subject to the constraint that the distortion is uncorrelated to the source. This result is based on shaped dithered lattice quantization…
A distributed lossy compression network with $L$ encoders and a decoder is considered. Each encoder observes a source and sends a compressed version to the decoder. The decoder produces a joint reconstruction of target signals with the mean…
This paper studies the minimum achievable source coding rate as a function of blocklength $n$ and probability $\epsilon$ that the distortion exceeds a given level $d$. Tight general achievability and converse bounds are derived that hold at…

This paper is concerned with the estimating problem of response quantile with high dimensional covariates when response is missing at random. Some existing methods define root-n consistent estimators for the response quantile. But these…
