Combinatorial Capacity Bounds for the -ary Deletion Channel

Hassan Tavakoli, Thinh Nguyen, Bella Bose

We study the \(q\)-ary deletion channel via the pattern-count scalar \(N_n(x,y)\), the number of deletion subsets mapping \(x\inΣ_q^n\) to \(y\inΣ_q^k\), which factorizes the tra…

Rate-Distortion-Classification Representation Theory for Bernoulli Sources

Nam Nguyen, Thinh Nguyen, Bella Bose

We study task-oriented lossy compression through the lens of rate-distortion-classification (RDC) representations. The source is Bernoulli, the distortion measure is Hamming, and t…

RankGuardPolar Private Public Finite Length Polar Codes with Rank-Certified Leakage

Hassan Tavakoli, Thinh Nguyen, Bella Bose

We introduce \textbf{RankGuard-Polar}, a framework for safely publishing a subset of polar codeword coordinates over shared public resources. We assume a strong eavesdropper who ha…

Parameter Estimation of Mutual Information Maximized Channels

Hassan Tavakoli, Thinh Nguyen, Bella Bose

We study the problem of estimating a parametric discrete memoryless channel \( p(y \mid x; \boldsymbolθ) \) when the transmitter selects its input distribution \( π\) to maximize…

Cross-Domain Lossy Compression via Constrained Minimum Entropy Coupling

Nam Nguyen, Hassan Tavakoli, An Vuong +2

This paper studies cross-domain lossy compression through the lens of minimum entropy coupling (MEC) with rate and classification constraints. In this setting, an encoder observes…

Universal Rate-Distortion-Classification Representations for Lossy Compression

Nam Nguyen, Thuan Nguyen, Thinh Nguyen +1

In lossy compression, Wang et al. [1] recently introduced the rate-distortion-perception-classification function, which supports multi-task learning by jointly optimizing perceptua…
