A Practical Approach to Joint Network-Source Coding
We are interested in how to best communicate a real valued source to a number of destinations (sinks) over a network with capacity constraints in a collective fidelity metric over...

Joint Source-Channel Decoding of Multiple Description Quantized Markov Sequences
This paper proposes a framework for joint source-channel decoding of Markov sequences that are coded by a fixed-rate multiple description quantizer (MDQ), and transmitted via a lo...

Low-Complexity Compression of Short Messages
We describe a low-complexity scheme for lossless compression of short text messages. The method uses arithmetic coding and a specific statistical context model for prediction of s...

Adaptive Run-Length / Golomb-Rice Encoding of Quantized Generalized Gaussian Sources with Unknown Statistics
We present a simple and efficient entropy coder that combines run-length and Golomb-Rice encoders. The encoder automatically switches between the two modes according to simple rul...

Making the Correct Mistakes
We propose a new sequential, adaptive, quadratic-time algorithm for variable-rate lossy compression of memoryless sources at a fixed distortion. The algorithm uses approximate pat...

Modeling Delta Encoding of Compressed Files
Abstract. The Compressed Delta Encoding paradigm is introduced, i.e., delta encoding directly in two given compressed files without decompressing. Here we explore the case where th...

The B-coder: An Improved Binary Arithmetic Coder and Probability Estimator
In this paper we present the B-coder, an efficient binary arithmetic coder that performs extremely well on a wide range of data. The B-coder should be classed as an `approximate&#...
