We introduce the concept of an \ff-maximal error-detecting block code, for some parameter \ff{} between 0 and 1, in order to formalize the situation where a block code is close to maximal with respect to being error-detecting. Our…
An interactive error correcting code ($\mathsf{iECC}$) is an interactive protocol with the guarantee that the receiver can correctly determine the sender's message, even in the presence of noise. This generalizes the concept of an error…

This paper investigates adaptive streaming codes over a three-node relayed network. In this setting, a source transmits a sequence of message packets through a relay under a delay constraint of $T$ time slots per packet. The source-to-relay…
Optimal locally repairable codes with information locality are considered. Optimal codes are constructed, whose length is also order-optimal with respect to a new bound on the code length derived in this paper. The length of the constructed…
In this paper, we study a model of communication under adversarial noise. In this model, the adversary makes online decisions on whether to corrupt a transmitted bit based on only the value of that bit. Like the usual binary symmetric…
Recent work has shown deep neural networks (DNNs) to be highly susceptible to well-designed, small perturbations at the input layer, or so-called adversarial examples. Taking images as an example, such distortions are often imperceptible,…

Quantum error correction is a critical component for scaling up quantum computing. Given a quantum code, an optimal decoder maps the measured code violations to the most likely error that occurred, but its cost scales exponentially with the…
Quantum error correction (QEC) is essential for reliable quantum information processing. Targeting a particular error channel, both the encoding and the recovery channel can be optimized through a biconvex optimization to give a…
We consider the problem of optimally decoding a quantum error correction code -- that is to find the optimal recovery procedure given the outcomes of partial "check" measurements on the system. In general, this problem is NP-hard. However,…
