This thesis addresses the topic of Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code analysis, both asymptotically and for finite block lengths. Since in general it is a difficult problem to analyze individual code instances, ensemble averages are studied by following ...
The goal of a class of sensor networks is to monitor an underlying physical reality at the highest possible fidelity. Sensors acquire noisy measurements and have to communicate them over a power- and possibly bandwidth-constrained interference channel to a ...
This work presents a system for the categorization of noisy texts. By noisy it is meant any text obtained through an extraction process (affected by errors) from media different than digital texts. We show that, even with an average Word Error Rate of arou ...
This work presents categorization experiments performed over noisy texts. By noisy it is meant any text obtained through an extraction process (affected by errors) from media other than digital texts (e.g. transcriptions of speech recordings extracted with ...
This work presents document clustering experiments performed over noisy texts (i.e. text that have been extracted through an automatic process like speech or character recognition). The effect of recognition errors on different clustering techniques is mea ...
The transmission of one of two messages over a binary symmetric channels with perfect and instantaneous feedback is considered. We study the situation where transmitter and receiver want to communicated reliably and quickly. We propose a simple decoding ru ...
In this paper we investigate the behaviour of iteratively decoded low-density parity-check codes over the binary erasure channel in the so-called "waterfall region". We show that, according to a simplified model, the performance curves in this region follo ...
What makes a source–channel communication system optimal? It is shown that in order to achieve an optimal cost–distortion tradeoff, the source and the channel have to be matched in a probabilistic sense. The match (or lack of it) involves the source distri ...
Most space-time coding schemes can be classified either as non-coherent (decoding is performed without forming an explicit channel estimate) or coherent (decoding is performed conditioned upon a channel estimate as if it were the actual channel realisation ...
