Lossy Source Coding with Gaussian or Erased Side-Information

Emre Telatar, Suhas Diggavi, Etienne Perron

In this paper we find properties that are shared between two seemingly unrelated lossy source coding setups with side information. The first setup is when the source and side information are jointly Gaussian and the distortion measure is quadratic. The sec ...

Designing for Improving Verbal Patient Transfer

The current verbal patient transfer between nurses and paramedics lacks communication, which leads to loss of information. During this operation, handwritten protocols are used to document the patient's personal data and the treatment given at several inte ...

Efficient Frame Interpolation for Wyner-Ziv Video Coding

Thomas Maugey

In the framework of Wyner-Ziv Coding of Video, the coding efficiency depends on the quality of the side information (SI) at the decoder, where the side information is constructed from the key frames available at the decoder. In this paper, we propose a nov ...

Rôle de la matrice d'information et pondération des composantes dans les noyaux de Fisher pour PLSI

Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Emmanuel Eckard

ABSTRACT. An information-geometric approach for document similarities in the framework of “Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing” was ﬁrst proposed by T. Hofmann (2000) and later extended (“revisited”) by Nyffenegger et al. (2006). This paper presents an ...

D-475 days, on the way towards the Library of the Rolex Learning Center of the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland

David Aymonin

EPFL is bulduing its Rolex Learning Center, which will be inaugurated in 2010. Point of entry to EPFL, the Learning Center will be a place where to learn, to obtain information, and to live. It will become a place where virtual and physical components comb ...

Side-Information Scalable Source Coding

Suhas Diggavi

We consider the problem of side-information scalable (SI-scalable) source coding, where the encoder constructs a two-layer description, such that the receiver with high quality side information will be able to use only the first layer to reconstruct the so ...

Multiuser successive refinement and multiple description coding

Suhas Diggavi, Jun Chen

In this correspondence, we consider the multiuser successive refinement (MSR) problem, where the users are connected to a central server via links with different noiseless capacities, and each user wishes to reconstruct in a successive-refinement fashion. ...

Bitstream format for spatio-temporal wave field coder

Martin Vetterli, Francisco Pereira Correia Pinto

We present a non-parametric method for compressing multichannel audio data for reproduction through Wave Field Synthesis. The method consists of applying a two-dimensional filterbank to the input mul- tichannel signal, in both time and channel dimensions, ...

Universities and access to medicines: What is the optimal ‘humanitarian license’?

Patrick Gaulé, Annamaria Conti

This paper seeks to add an economic contribution to the current debate on using university licensing contracts to improve access to medicines in developing countries. We build a simple model in which we have a university licensing out an academic invention ...
