This paper derives an improved sphere-packing (ISP) bound for finite-length error-correcting codes whose transmission takes place over symmetric memoryless channels, and the codes...
Abstract--Given a correlated Gaussian signal, may a chisquared law of probability always be used to describe a spectrogram coefficient distribution? If not, would a "chi-squar...
We introduce a receiver-oriented approach to congestion control, demonstrated by an experimental protocol, TCP-Real. The protocol allows for a measurement-based transmission strate...
The single class best effort service available in the current Internet does not provide the guarantees, typically expressed in terms of minimum bandwidth and/or maximum delay or l...
Naturally-occurring instances of linguistic phenomena are important both for training and for evaluating automatic text processing. When available in large quantities, they also p...
