  • Group Testing
    Group Testing Amit Kumar Sinhababu∗ and Vikraman Choudhuryy Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur April 21, 2013 1 Motivation Out original motivation in this project was to study \coding theory in data streaming", which has two aspects. • Applications of theory correcting codes to efficiently solve problems in the model of data streaming. • Solving coding theory problems in the model of data streaming. For ex- ample, \Can one recognize a Reed-Solomon codeword in one-pass using only poly-log space?" [1] As we started, we were directed to a related combinatorial problem, \Group testing", which is important on its own, having connections with \Compressed Sensing", \Data Streaming", \Coding Theory", \Expanders", \Derandomiza- tion". This project report surveys some of these interesting connections. 2 Group Testing The group testing problem is to identify the set of \positives" (\defectives", or \infected", or 1) from a large set of population/items, using as few tests as possible. ∗[email protected] [email protected] 1 2.1 Definition There is an unknown stream x 2 f0; 1gn with at most d ones in it. We are allowed to test any subset S of the indices. The answer to the test tells whether xi = 0 for all i 2 S, or not (at least one xi = 1). The objective is to design as few tests as possible (t tests) such that x can be identified as fast as possible. Group testing strategies can be either adaptive or non-adaptive. A group testing algorithm is non-adaptive if all tests must be specified without knowing the outcome of other tests.

  • DRASIC Distributed Recurrent Autoencoder for Scalable
    DRASIC: Distributed Recurrent Autoencoder for Scalable Image Compression Enmao Diao∗, Jie Dingy, and Vahid Tarokh∗ ∗Duke University yUniversity of Minnesota-Twin Cities Durham, NC, 27701, USA Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We propose a new architecture for distributed image compression from a group of distributed data sources. The work is motivated by practical needs of data-driven codec design, low power con- sumption, robustness, and data privacy. The proposed architecture, which we refer to as Distributed Recurrent Autoencoder for Scalable Image Compression (DRASIC), is able to train distributed encoders and one joint decoder on correlated data sources. Its compression capability is much bet- ter than the method of training codecs separately. Meanwhile, the performance of our distributed system with 10 distributed sources is only within 2 dB peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of the performance of a single codec trained with all data sources. We experiment distributed sources with different correlations and show how our data-driven methodology well matches the Slepian- Wolf Theorem in Distributed Source Coding (DSC). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first data-driven DSC framework for general distributed code design with deep learning. 1 Introduction It has been shown by a variety of previous works that deep neural networks (DNN) can achieve comparable results as classical image compression techniques [1–9]. Most of these methods are based on autoencoder networks and quantization of bottleneck representa- tions. These models usually rely on entropy codec to further compress codes. Moreover, to achieve different compression rates it is unavoidable to train multiple models with different regularization parameters separately, which is often computationally intensive.

  • Channel Coding
    1 Channel Coding: The Road to Channel Capacity Daniel J. Costello, Jr., Fellow, IEEE, and G. David Forney, Jr., Fellow, IEEE Submitted to the Proceedings of the IEEE First revision, November 2006 Abstract Starting from Shannon’s celebrated 1948 channel coding theorem, we trace the evolution of channel coding from Hamming codes to capacity-approaching codes. We focus on the contributions that have led to the most significant improvements in performance vs. complexity for practical applications, particularly on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. We discuss algebraic block codes, and why they did not prove to be the way to get to the Shannon limit. We trace the antecedents of today’s capacity-approaching codes: convolutional codes, concatenated codes, and other probabilistic coding schemes. Finally, we sketch some of the practical applications of these codes. Index Terms Channel coding, algebraic block codes, convolutional codes, concatenated codes, turbo codes, low-density parity- check codes, codes on graphs. I. INTRODUCTION The field of channel coding started with Claude Shannon’s 1948 landmark paper [1]. For the next half century, its central objective was to find practical coding schemes that could approach channel capacity (hereafter called “the Shannon limit”) on well-understood channels such as the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. This goal proved to be challenging, but not impossible. In the past decade, with the advent of turbo codes and the rebirth of low-density parity-check codes, it has finally been achieved, at least in many cases of practical interest. As Bob McEliece observed in his 2004 Shannon Lecture [2], the extraordinary efforts that were required to achieve this objective may not be fully appreciated by future historians.

  • Network Information Theory
    Network Information Theory This comprehensive treatment of network information theory and its applications pro- vides the first unified coverage of both classical and recent results. With an approach that balances the introduction of new models and new coding techniques, readers are guided through Shannon’s point-to-point information theory, single-hop networks, multihop networks, and extensions to distributed computing, secrecy, wireless communication, and networking. Elementary mathematical tools and techniques are used throughout, requiring only basic knowledge of probability, whilst unified proofs of coding theorems are based on a few simple lemmas, making the text accessible to newcomers. Key topics covered include successive cancellation and superposition coding, MIMO wireless com- munication, network coding, and cooperative relaying. Also covered are feedback and interactive communication, capacity approximations and scaling laws, and asynchronous and random access channels. This book is ideal for use in the classroom, for self-study, and as a reference for researchers and engineers in industry and academia. Abbas El Gamal is the Hitachi America Chaired Professor in the School of Engineering and the Director of the Information Systems Laboratory in the Department of Electri- cal Engineering at Stanford University. In the field of network information theory, he is best known for his seminal contributions to the relay, broadcast, and interference chan- nels; multiple description coding; coding for noisy networks; and energy-efficient packet scheduling and throughput–delay tradeoffs in wireless networks. He is a Fellow of IEEE and the winner of the 2012 Claude E. Shannon Award, the highest honor in the field of information theory.
