Rate-Distortion via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
We propose an approach to lossy source coding, utilizing ideas from Gibbs sampling, simulated annealing, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The idea is to sample a reconstruction sequence from a Boltzmann distribution associated with an energy function that incorporates the distortion between the source and reconstru...

Spectral Sparsification of Graphs
We introduce a new notion of graph sparsificaiton based on spectral similarity of graph Laplacians: spectral sparsification requires that the Laplacian quadratic form of the sparsifier approximate that of the original. This is equivalent to saying that the Laplacian of the sparsifier is a good preconditioner for the La...

Coarse-graining stochastic biochemical networks: quasi-stationary approximation and fast simulations using a stochastic path integral technique

Our approach, which is similar to the Born-Oppenheimer ap...

The energy scaling laws of multihop data fusion networks for distributed inference are considered. The fusion network consists of randomly located sensors distributed i.i.d. according to a general spatial distribution in an expanding region. Among the class of data fusion schemes that enable optimal inference at the fu...

Our focus is on the adaptive estimation in the case when the signal can be well recovered using a (hypothetical) linear filter, which can depend on the unknown signal itself. ...

Near-Infrared spectral diagnostics for unresolved stellar population galaxies
We want to develop spectral diagnostics of stellar populations in the near-infrared (NIR), for unresolved stellar populations. We created a semi-empirical population model and we compare the model output with the observed spectra of a sample of elliptical and bulge-dominated galaxies that have reliable Lick-indices fro...

Clustered Multi-Task Learning: A Convex Formulation
In multi-task learning several related tasks are considered simultaneously, with the hope that by an appropriate sharing of information across tasks, each task may benefit from the others. In the context of learning linear functions for supervised classification or regression, this can be achieved by including a priori...

Concentration-compactness phenomena in the higher order Liouville's equation
We investigate different concentration-compactness phenomena related to the Q-curvature in arbitrary even dimension. We first treat the case of an open domain in $R^{2m}$, then that of a closed manifold and, finally, the particular case of the sphere $S^{2m}$. In all cases we allow the sign of the Q-curvature to vary, ...

Relay vs. User Cooperation in Time-Duplexed Multiaccess Networks
The performance of user-cooperation in a multi-access network is compared to that of using a wireless relay. Using the total transmit and processing power consumed at all nodes as a cost metric, the outage probabilities achieved by dynamic decode-and-forward (DDF) and amplify-and-forward (AF) are compared for the two n...

A randomized algorithm for principal component analysis

In many applications of PCA, the best possible accuracy of any rank-deficient approximation is at most a few digits (measured in the spectral norm, relative to the spectral norm of the...

Exact Results for the Kuramoto Model with a Bimodal Frequency Distribution

In 1984 Kuramoto proposed several conjectures about its behavior; ten years later, Crawford obtained the first analytical resul...

The existence of cusps on non-periodic strings ending on D-branes is demonstrated and the conditions, for which such cusps are generic, are derived. The dynamics of F-, D-string and FD-string junctions are investigated. It is shown that pairs of FD-string junctions, such as would form after intercommutations of F- and ...

Influences of degree inhomogeneity on average path length and random walks in disassortative scale-free networks
Various real-life networks exhibit degree correlations and heterogeneous structure, with the latter being characterized by power-law degree distribution $P(k)\sim k^{-\gamma}$, where the degree exponent $\gamma$ describes the extent of heterogeneity. In this paper, we study analytically the average path length (APL) of...

Unlike the previously investigated continuous time random walk model $\overline{\delta^2}$ converges to the ensemble ...
