The Control Plant as A Communication Channel: Implicit Communication for Decentralized LQG Control
Gongpu Chen, Deniz Gündüz
We study a decentralized linear quadratic Gaussian control problem, in which a leader and a follower must steer a linear system to a target state. The target state is known only to…
Implicit Communication in Linear Quadratic Gaussian Control Systems
Gongpu Chen, Deniz Gunduz
This paper studies implicit communication in linear quadratic Gaussian control systems. We show that the control system itself can serve as an implicit communication channel, enabl…
LotteryCodec: Searching the Implicit Representation in a Random Network for Low-Complexity Image Compression
Haotian Wu, Gongpu Chen, Pier Luigi Dragotti +1
We introduce and validate the lottery codec hypothesis, which states that untrained subnetworks within randomly initialized networks can serve as synthesis networks for overfitted…
Actions Speak Louder Than Words: Rate-Reward Trade-off in Markov Decision Processes
Haotian Wu, Gongpu Chen, Deniz Gündüz
The impact of communication on decision-making systems has been extensively studied under the assumption of dedicated communication channels. We instead consider communicating thro…
Covert Adversarial Actuators in Finite MDPs
Edoardo David Santi, Gongpu Chen, Deniz Gündüz +1
We consider a Markov decision process (MDP) in which actions prescribed by the controller are executed by a separate actuator, which may behave adversarially. At each time step, th…
