Reed-Muller Codes on BMS Channels Achieve Vanishing Bit-Error Probability for All Rates Below Capacity
Galen Reeves, Henry D. Pfister
This paper considers the performance of Reed-Muller (RM) codes transmitted over binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels under bitwise maximum-a-posteriori (bit-MAP) decoding. It…
Hölder Bounds for Sensitivity Analysis in Causal Reasoning
Serge Assaad, Shuxi Zeng, Henry Pfister +2
We examine interval estimation of the effect of a treatment T on an outcome Y given the existence of an unobserved confounder U. Using Hölder's inequality, we derive a set of bound…
Trellis BMA: Coded Trace Reconstruction on IDS Channels for DNA Storage
Sundara Rajan Srinivasavaradhan, Sivakanth Gopi, Henry D. Pfister +1
Sequencing a DNA strand, as part of the read process in DNA storage, produces multiple noisy copies which can be combined to produce better estimates of the original strand; this i…
A Semiclassical Proof of Duality Between the Classical BSC and the Quantum PSC
Narayanan Rengaswamy, Henry D. Pfister
In 2018, Renes [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, vol. 64, no. 1, pp. 577-592 (2018)] (arXiv:1701.05583) developed a general theory of channel duality for classical-input quantum-output (CQ…
An Information-Theoretic Perspective on Successive Cancellation List Decoding and Polar Code Design
Mustafa Cemil Coşkun, Henry D. Pfister
This work identifies information-theoretic quantities that are closely related to the required list size on average for successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding to implement max…
Polar Codes for Channels with Insertions, Deletions, and Substitutions
Henry D. Pfister, Ido Tal
This paper presents a coding scheme for an insertion deletion substitution channel. We extend a previous scheme for the deletion channel where polar codes are modified by adding "g…
