Multiterminal source coding under logarithmic loss

TA Courtade, T Weissman - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the classical two-encoder multiterminal source coding problem where distortion
is measured under logarithmic loss. We provide a single-letter description of the achievable …

HINGE: long-read assembly achieves optimal repeat resolution

GM Kamath, I Shomorony, F Xia, TA Courtade… - Genome …, 2017 - genome.cshlp.org
Long-read sequencing technologies have the potential to produce gold-standard de novo
genome assemblies, but fully exploiting error-prone reads to resolve repeats remains a …

Linear regression with shuffled data: Statistical and computational limits of permutation recovery

…, MJ Wainwright, TA Courtade - IEEE Transactions on …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Consider a noisy linear observation model with an unknown permutation, based on observing
y = Π* Ax* + w, where x* ∈ ℝ d is an unknown vector, Π* is an unknown nxn permutation …

Denoising linear models with permuted data

…, MJ Wainwright, TA Courtade - 2017 IEEE International …, 2017 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the multivariate linear regression model with shuffled data and additive noise,
which arises in various correspondence estimation and matching problems. We focus on the …

Existence of Stein kernels under a spectral gap, and discrepancy bounds

TA Courtade, M Fathi, A Pananjady - 2019 - projecteuclid.org
We establish existence of Stein kernels for probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ satisfying
a Poincaré inequality, and obtain bounds on the Stein discrepancy of such measures. …

Coded cooperative data exchange in multihop networks

TA Courtade, RD Wesel - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Consider a connected network of n nodes that all wish to recover k desired packets. Each
node begins with a subset of the desired packets and exchanges coded packets with its …

Justification of logarithmic loss via the benefit of side information

J Jiao, TA Courtade, K Venkat… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
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 captures the …

Which Boolean functions maximize mutual information on noisy inputs?

TA Courtade, GR Kumar - IEEE Transactions on Information …, 2014 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We pose a simply stated conjecture regarding the maximum mutual information a Boolean
function can reveal about noisy inputs. Specifically, let X n be independent identically …

Linear regression with an unknown permutation: Statistical and computational limits

…, MJ Wainwright, TA Courtade - 2016 54th Annual …, 2016 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Consider a noisy linear observation model with an unknown permutation, based on observing
y = Π*Ax* + w, where x* ∈ ℝ d is an unknown vector, Π* is an unknown n × n permutation …

Optimal allocation of redundancy between packet-level erasure coding and physical-layer channel coding in fading channels

TA Courtade, RD Wesel - IEEE Transactions on …, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
For a block-fading channel, this paper optimizes the allocation of redundancy between
packet-level erasure coding (which provides additional packets to compensate for packet loss) …
