Abstract: Optimality of source-channel separation for universal communication with a fidelity criterion will be discussed. Universality is over the channel; that is, the channel can belong to a set.
Abstract: Interactions among proteins, regulatory DNA regions surrounding genes, and other biomolecules are central to cellular function and health. Constructing a network representation of these in
Abstract: We consider undirected, connected graphs with nonnegative weights on the edges. Additionally, a special subset of vertices called terminals is provided as input.
Abstract: The maximum "mean power" likelihood estimation procedure (proposed by [Basu et al., Biometrika, 1998]) is a robust variant of the maximum likelihood estimation procedure.
Abstract: In recent years, advances in machine learning and related fields have led to significant advances in a range of user-interface technologies, including audio processing, speech recognition, and natural language processing.
Abstract: Technology that accurately models, analyzes, and verifies software has come a long way since its conception several decades ago. One mode of using such technology is to look for defects in software that has already left the hands of dev
In the 1980's Yao introduced the model of communication complexity where Alice, who knows $x$ in ${0,1}^n$, and Bob, who knows $y$ in ${0,1}^n$, wish to communicate with each other, exchanging fewest possible number of bits, to determine some func
