On a Relation Between the Rate-Distortion Function and Optimal Transport

Eric Lei, Hamed Hassani, Shirin Saeedi Bidokhti

We discuss a relationship between rate-distortion and optimal transport (OT) theory, even though they seem to be unrelated at first glance. In particular, we show that a function d…

Federated Neural Compression Under Heterogeneous Data

Eric Lei, Hamed Hassani, Shirin Saeedi Bidokhti

We discuss a federated learned compression problem, where the goal is to learn a compressor from real-world data which is scattered across clients and may be statistically heteroge…
