The Plustek 8100 is a popular entry-level 35mm film scanner. It produces significantly higher resolution scans than any accessibly priced flatbed scanner I know of (thinking specifically of the Epson …
A Class of Multivariate Functions that Behave Like Single-Letter Random Variables
Vector-encoders of a certain pretty restricted class happen to carry the same information content as univariate encoders. This turns out to be relevant to an aspect of time-expanded information bottlenecks …
Extracting Relevant Information over Many Trials
The information bottleneck scenario goes like this:
We are interested in a quantity Y but only observe X which we must process down to a rate R \in …
Hypersphere Cap Volumes in Matlab
The volume of a height-h cap of a ball of radius r in dimension n can be derived:
\begin{equation} \operatorname{vol}(\operatorname{cap}) = \frac{1 …On Suboptimality of the Berger-Tung Bounds
The Berger-Tung inner and outer bounds give a approximation to the rate-distortion region in lossy distributed source coding. The regions are not tight in general. Their tightness is discussed throughout …
