Installing smart meters to publish real-time electricity rates has been controversial while it might lead to privacy concerns. Dispatched rates include fine-grained data on aggregate electricity consumption in a zone and could potentially be used to infer ...
We study lossy gradient compression methods to alleviate the communication bottleneck in data-parallel distributed optimization. Despite the significant attention received, current compression schemes either do not scale well, or fail to achieve the target ...
Current infrastructure is designed and built such that it must simultaneously comply with all possible loads. This leads to overdesigned structures that are inefficient in terms energy and cost. A structure that can self-identify damage, adapt, and learn f ...
In his landmark paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," the founding father of information theory and coding theory, Claude E. Shannon, established the largest rate at which reliable communication is possible and he revealed that the key to this re ...
Polar codes are a recently proposed class of block codes that provably achieve the capacity of various communication channels. They received a lot of attention as they can do so with low-complexity encoding and decoding algorithms, and they have an explici ...
We determine the stability condition of low-density parity-check codes under both bitwise and blockwise maximum a posteriori decoding. As a consequence, we prove that the stability condition determines an upper bound on both the bitwise and the blockwise m ...
We propose a nonlinear inverse kinematics formulation which solves for positions directly. Compared to various other popular methods that integrate velocities, this formulation can better handle fast, asymmetric and singular-postured balancing tasks for hu ...
High-speed serial links are a crucial application of semiconductor technology and have been the enabler of the scaling of computing systems. The increasing data-rate requirements of these links have only been partially satisfied by advancements in process ...
For the past 70 years or so, coding theorists have been aiming at designing transmission schemes with efficient encoding and decoding algorithms that achieve the capacity of various noisy channels. It was not until the '90s that graph-based codes, such as ...
Performing speaker diarization while uniquely identifying the speakers in a collection of audio recordings is a challenging task. Based on our previous work on speaker diarization and linking, we developed a system for diarizing longitudinal TV show data s ...
