Neural computation from first principles: Using the maximum entropy method to obtain an optimal bits-per-joule neuron
William B Levy, Toby Berger, Mustafa Sungkar
Optimization results are one method for understanding neural computation from Nature's perspective and for defining the physical limits on neuron-like engineering. Earlier work loo…
Neural computation at the thermal limit
William B. Levy, Toby Berger, Ilya A. Fleidervish
Although several measurements and analyses support the idea that the brain is energy-optimized, there is one disturbing, contradictory observation: In theory, computation limited b…
Solving the Tower of Hanoi with Random Moves
Max A. Alekseyev, Toby Berger
We prove the exact formulae for the expected number of moves to solve several variants of the Tower of Hanoi puzzle with 3 pegs and n disks, when each move is chosen uniformly rand…
Robust Distributed Source Coding
Jun Chen, Toby Berger
We consider a distributed source coding system in which several observations are communicated to the decoder using limited transmission rate. The observations must be separately co…
Successive Wyner-Ziv Coding Scheme and its Application to the Quadratic Gaussian CEO Problem
Jun Chen, Toby Berger
We introduce a distributed source coding scheme called successive Wyner-Ziv coding. We show that any point in the rate region of the quadratic Gaussian CEO problem can be achieved…
Multiple Description Quantization via Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization
Jun Chen, Chao Tian, Toby Berger +1
The multiple description (MD) problem has received considerable attention as a model of information transmission over unreliable channels. A general framework for designing efficie…
