Relations between random coding exponents and the statistical physics of random codes
Neri Merhav
The partition function pertaining to finite--temperature decoding of a (typical) randomly chosen code is known to have three types of behavior, corresponding to three phases in the…
Competitive minimax universal decoding for several ensembles of random codes
Yaniv Akirav, Neri Merhav
Universally achievable error exponents pertaining to certain families of channels (most notably, discrete memoryless channels (DMC's)), and various ensembles of random codes, are s…
Scanning and Sequential Decision Making for Multi-Dimensional Data - Part II: the Noisy Case
Asaf Cohen, Tsachy Weissman, Neri Merhav
We consider the problem of sequential decision making on random fields corrupted by noise. In this scenario, the decision maker observes a noisy version of the data, yet judged wit…
An identity of Chernoff bounds with an interpretation in statistical physics and applications in information theory
Neri Merhav
An identity between two versions of the Chernoff bound on the probability a certain large deviations event, is established. This identity has an interpretation in statistical physi…
