    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.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Stanford Professor A.J. Paulraj Wins the 2014 Marconi Prize Honored for his pioneering contributions to developing the theory and applications of MIMO antennas Palo Alto, CA, January 21, 2014—Professor (Emeritus) Arogyaswami Joseph Paulraj, Stanford University, has been awarded the prestigious 2014 Marconi Society Prize. His idea for using multiple antennas at both the transmitting and receiving stations - which is at the heart of the current high speed WiFi and 4G mobile systems – has revolutionized high speed wireless delivery of multimedia services for billions of people. “Paul (as he is commonly known) has made profound contributions to wireless technology, and the resulting benefit to mankind is indisputable. Every wifi router and 4G phone today uses MIMO technology pioneered by him,” says Professor Sir David Payne, Chairman of the Marconi Society and Director of the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton. “MIMO will soon be pervasive in all wireless devices. Moreover, Paulraj’s work has provided fertile ground for thousands of researchers to explore and advance MIMO’s potential to enhance wireless spectrum efficiency.” The Marconi Society, celebrating its 50th year in 2014, was founded by Gioia Marconi Braga. Each year it recognizes one or more scientists who – like her father, radio inventor Guglielmo Marconi – pursue advances in communications and information technology for the social, economic and cultural development of all humanity. Winners, who receive a $100,000 prize, have included scientists whose mathematical theories and inventions have shaped the Internet and broadband access, public key encryption, Web search, wired and wireless transmission, multimedia publishing, optical fiber and satellite communications.
