Coded Cooperative Data Exchange for a Secret Key
Thomas A. Courtade, Thomas R. Halford
We consider a coded cooperative data exchange problem with the goal of generating a secret key. Specifically, we investigate the number of public transmissions required for a set o…
An Extremal Inequality for Long Markov Chains
Thomas Courtade, Jiantao Jiao
Let be jointly Gaussian vectors, and consider random variables that satisfy the Markov constraint . We prove an extremal inequality relating the mutual informa…
Information Measures: the Curious Case of the Binary Alphabet
Jiantao Jiao, Thomas Courtade, Albert No +2
Four problems related to information divergence measures defined on finite alphabets are considered. In three of the cases we consider, we illustrate a contrast which arises betwee…
Justification of Logarithmic Loss via the Benefit of Side Information
Jiantao Jiao, Thomas Courtade, Kartik Venkat +1
We consider a natural measure of relevance: the reduction in optimal prediction risk in the presence of side information. For any given loss function, this relevance measure captur…
