Zero-rate feedback can achieve the empirical capacity
The utility of limited feedback for coding over an individual sequence of DMCs is investigated. This study complements recent results showing how limited or noisy feedback can boos...

Self-Improving Algorithms
We investigate ways in which an algorithm can improve its expected performance by fine-tuning itself automatically with respect to an arbitrary, unknown input distribution. We gi...

Optimal coding for the deletion channel with small deletion probability
The deletion channel is the simplest point-to-point communication channel that models lack of synchronization. Input bits are deleted independently with probability d, and when th...

Estimation in Gaussian Noise: Properties of the Minimum Mean-Square Error
Consider the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of estimating an arbitrary random variable from its observation contaminated by Gaussian noise. The MMSE can be regarded as a function...

A self-organising network that grows when required
The ability to grow extra nodes is a potentially useful facility for a self-organising neural network. A network that can add nodes into its map space can approximate the input sp...

Self-improving algorithms for delaunay triangulations
We study the problem of two-dimensional Delaunay triangulation in the self-improving algorithms model [1]. We assume that the n points of the input each come from an independent, ...

Capacity-Achieving Discrete Signaling over Additive Noise Channels
— Discrete input distributions are capacity-achieving for a variety of noise distributions whenever the input is subject to peak power or other bounding constraints. In this pape...
