Coding, information theory and compression constitute the backbone of modern digital communications and data storage. Grounded in Shannon’s seminal work, information theory quantifies the ...

Distributed source coding represents a paradigm shift in data compression, wherein multiple correlated sources are encoded independently while still enabling joint decoding. This approach contrasts ...

Predictive coding has tremendous appeal, at least in theory. As a practical matter, however, many have been deterred from using it because various hurdles can arise. Nevertheless, with some ...
