Subjective performance evaluation of bitrate allocation strategies for MPEG and JPEG Pleno point cloud compression

Touradj Ebrahimi, Michela Testolina, Davi Nachtigall Lazzarotto

The recent rise in interest in point clouds as an imaging modality has motivated standardization groups such as JPEG and MPEG to launch activities aiming at developing compression standards for point clouds. Lossy compression usually introduces visual arti ...

Towards learning-based image compression for storage on DNA support

Touradj Ebrahimi, Michela Testolina

The demand for data storage has grown exponentially over the past decades. Current archival solutions have significant shortcomings, such as high resource requirements and a lack of sufficient longevity. In contrast, research on DNA-based storage has been ...

Lower-bounds on the Bayesian Risk in Estimation Procedures via f–Divergences

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adrien Vandenbroucque, Amedeo Roberto Esposito

We consider the problem of parameter estimation in a Bayesian setting and propose a general lower-bound that includes part of the family of f-Divergences. The results are then applied to specific settings of interest and compared to other notable results i ...

From Generalisation Error to Transportation-cost Inequalities and Back

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito

In this work, we connect the problem of bounding the expected generalisation error with transportation-cost inequalities. Exposing the underlying pattern behind both approaches we are able to generalise them and go beyond Kullback- Leibler Divergences/Mutu ...

Generalization Error Bounds Via Rényi-, f-Divergences and Maximal Leakage

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

In this work, the probability of an event under some joint distribution is bounded by measuring it with the product of the marginals instead (which is typically easier to analyze) together with a measure of the dependence between the two random variables. ...

Mutual Information Disentangles Interactions from Changing Environments

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are characterized by complex interactions of their internal degrees of freedom, while living in ever-changing environments whose net effect is to act as additional couplings. Here, we introduce a paradigmatic interacting model in a switc ...

Robust Generalization via f−Mutual Information

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Amedeo Roberto Esposito, Ibrahim Issa

Given two probability measures P and Q and an event E, we provide bounds on P(E) in terms of Q(E) and f-divergences. In particular, the bounds are instantiated when the measures considered are a joint distribution and the corresponding product of marginals ...

(Geometry Aware) Deep Learning-based Omnidirectional Image Compression

Yamin Sepehri

Omnidirectional images are the spherical visual signals that provide a wide, 360◦, view of a scene from a specific position. Such images are becoming increasingly popular in fields like virtual reality and robotics. Compared to conventional 2D images, the ...
