Spatial Coupling as a Proof Technique and Three Applications

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Andrei Giurgiu

The aim of this paper is to show that spatial coupling can be viewed not only as a means to build better graphical models, but also as a tool to better understand uncoupled models. The starting point is the observation that some asymptotic properties of gr ...

Sparse Probabilistic Models

Andrei Giurgiu

This thesis is concerned with a number of novel uses of spatial coupling, applied to a class of probabilistic graphical models. These models include error correcting codes, random constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and statistical physics models calle ...

Computing in social networks

Rachid Guerraoui, Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Kévin Clément Huguenin, Andrei Giurgiu

This paper defines the problem of Scalable Secure computing in a Social network: we call it the S-3 problem. In short, nodes, directly reflecting on associated users, need to compute a symmetric function f : V-n -> U of their inputs in a set of constant si ...

How to prove the Maxwell conjecture via spatial coupling — A proof of concept

Rüdiger Urbanke, Nicolas Macris, Andrei Giurgiu

Investigations on spatially coupled codes have lead to the conjecture that, in the infinite size limit, the average input-output conditional entropy for spatially coupled low-density parity-check ensembles, over binary memoryless symmetric channels, equals ...

Fast Randomized Test-and-Set and Renaming

Rachid Guerraoui, Seth Gilbert, Dan Alistarh, Hagit Albo Attiya, Andrei Giurgiu

Most people believe that renaming is easy: simply choose a name \emph{at random}; if more than one process selects the same name, then try again. We highlight the issues that occur when trying to implement such a scheme and shed new light on the read-write ...
