This paper investigates the problem of correcting multiple criss-cross insertions and deletions in arrays. More precisely, we study the unique recovery of $n \times n$ arrays affected by $t$-criss-cross deletions defined as any combination…

Erasure coding is widely used for massive storage in data centers to achieve high fault tolerance and low storage redundancy. Since the cross-rack communication cost is often high, it is critical to design erasure codes that minimize the…

Codes in the Damerau--Levenshtein metric have been extensively studied recently owing to their applications in DNA-based data storage. In particular, Gabrys, Yaakobi, and Milenkovic (2017) designed a length-$n$ code correcting a single…

Distributed storage systems provide reliable access to data through redundancy spread over individually unreliable nodes. Application scenarios include data centers, peer-to-peer storage systems, and storage in wireless networks. Storing…

We present error-correcting codes that achieve the information-theoretically best possible trade-off between the rate and error-correction radius. Specifically, for every $0 < R < 1$ and $\eps> 0$, we present an explicit construction of…

In this paper, we design erasure-correcting codes for channels with burst and random erasures, when a strict decoding delay constraint is in place. We consider the sliding-window-based packet erasure model proposed by Badr et al., where any…

This study investigates the capabilities of Cyclic Redundancy Checks(CRCs) to detect burst and random errors. Researchers have favored these error detection codes throughout the evolution of computing and have implemented them in…

This paper investigates streaming codes for three-node relay networks under burst packet erasures with a delay constraint $T$. In any sliding window of $T+1$ consecutive packets, the source-to-relay and relay-to-destination channels may…

An error-erasure channel is a simple noise model that introduces both errors and erasures. While the two types of errors can be corrected simultaneously with error-correcting codes, it is also known that any linear code allows for first…

An indel refers to a single insertion or deletion, while an edit refers to a single insertion, deletion or substitution. In this paper, we investigate codes that combat either a single indel or a single edit and provide linear-time…

We consider multidimensional codes capable of correcting a burst error of weight at most $2$. When two positions are in error, the burst limits their relative position. We study three such limitations: the $L_\infty$ distance between the…

In distributed storage systems that use coding, the issue of minimizing the communication required to rebuild a storage node after a failure arises. We consider the problem of repairing an erased node in a distributed storage system that…

MDS codes are erasure-correcting codes that can correct the maximum number of erasures for a given number of redundancy or parity symbols. If an MDS code has $r$ parities and no more than $r$ erasures occur, then by transmitting all the…

Recent literature including our past work provide analysis and solutions for using (i) erasure coding, (ii) parallelism, or (iii) variable slicing/chunking (i.e., dividing an object of a specific size into a variable number of smaller…

One peculiarity with deletion-correcting codes is that perfect $t$-deletion-correcting codes of the same length over the same alphabet can have different numbers of codewords, because the balls of radius $t$ with respect to the…

This paper presents general bounds on the highest achievable rate for list-decodable insertion-deletion codes. In particular, we give novel outer and inner bounds for the highest achievable communication rate of any insertion-deletion code…

In this paper, we present a novel communication channel, called the absorption channel, inspired by information transmission in neurons. Our motivation comes from in-vivo nano-machines, emerging medical applications, and brain-machine…

We construct deletion error-correcting codes in the oblivious model, where errors are adversarial but oblivious to the encoder's randomness. Oblivious errors bridge the gap between the adversarial and random error models, and are motivated…

We give the first communication-optimal document exchange protocol. For any $n$ and $k < n$ our randomized scheme takes any $n$-bit file $F$ and computes a $\Theta(k \log \frac{n}{k})$-bit summary from which one can reconstruct $F$, with…

We give a complete answer to the following basic question: "What is the maximal fraction of deletions or insertions tolerable by $q$-ary list-decodable codes with non-vanishing information rate?" This question has been open even for binary…
