We define the common randomness assisted capacity of an arbitrarily varying channel (AVWC) when the Eavesdropper is kept ignorant about the common randomness. We prove a multi-letter capacity formula for this model. We prove that, if enough…
Large-scale natural language generation requires the integration of vast amounts of knowledge: lexical, grammatical, and conceptual. A robust generator must be able to operate well even when pieces of knowledge are missing. It must also be…
Random networks are intensively used as null models to investigate properties of complex networks. We describe an efficient and accurate algorithm to generate arbitrarily two-point correlated undirected random networks without self- or…
This paper studies the concentration properties of random codes. Specifically, we show that, for discrete memoryless channels, the error exponent of a randomly generated code with pairwise-independent codewords converges in probability to…
Communication complexity refers to the minimum rate of public communication required for generating a maximal-rate secret key (SK) in the multiterminal source model of Csiszar and Narayan. Tyagi recently characterized this communication…
Capacity is an important tool in decision-making under risk and uncertainty and multi-criteria decision-making. When learning a capacity-based model, it is important to be able to generate uniformly a capacity. Due to the monotonicity…
We revisit the traditional framework of wireless secret key generation, where two parties leverage the wireless channel randomness to establish a secret key. The essence in the framework is to quantify channel randomness into bit sequences…
In this paper, we derive outer bounds on the capacity region of two classes of the general two-user discrete memoryless broadcast channels with side-information at the transmitter. The first class comprises the classical broadcast channel…
The set disjointness problem is one of the most fundamental and well-studied problems in communication complexity. In this problem Alice and Bob hold sets $S, T \subseteq [n]$, respectively, and the goal is to decide if $S \cap T =…
The recent work of Kleinberg & Mullainathan [KM24] provides a concrete model for language generation in the limit: given a sequence of examples from an unknown target language, the goal is to generate new examples from the target language…
We study shared randomness in the context of multi-party number-in-hand communication protocols in the simultaneous message passing model. We show that with three or more players, shared randomness exhibits new interesting properties that…
In this paper we generalize the notion of common information of two dependent variables introduced by G\'acs & K\"orner. They defined common information as the largest entropy rate of a common random variable two parties observing one of…
Fast secure random number generation is essential for high-speed encrypted communication, and is the backbone of information security. Generation of truly random numbers depends on the intrinsic randomness of the process used and is usually…
We consider problems of two-user secret key generation through an intermediate relay. Each user observes correlated source sequences and communicates to the relay over rate-limited noiseless links. The relay processes and broadcasts…
This paper studies a Shannon-theoretic version of the generalized distribution preserving quantization problem where a stationary and memoryless source is encoded subject to a distortion constraint and the additional requirement that the…
In symmetric private information retrieval (SPIR), a user communicates with multiple servers to retrieve from them a message in a database, while not revealing the message index to any individual server (user privacy), and learning no…
We consider a class of growing random graphs obtained by creating vertices sequentially one by one: at each step, we choose uniformly the neighbours of the newly created vertex; its degree is a random variable with a fixed but arbitrary…
We consider the compound memoryless quantum multiple-access channel (QMAC) with two sending terminals. In this model, the transmission is governed by the memoryless extensions of a completely positive and trace preserving map which can be…
We consider directed acyclic networks with multiple sources and multiple terminals where each source generates one i.i.d. random process over an abelian group and all the terminals want to recover the sum of these random processes. The…
The minimum average number of bits need to describe a random variable is its entropy, assuming knowledge of the underlying statistics On the other hand, universal compression supposes that the distribution of the random variable, while…
