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 reconstructio...
Abstract.1 The scheme of the sliding window is known in Information Theory, Computer Science, the problem of predicting and in stastistics. Let a source with unknown statistics gen...
Information-driven networks include a large category of networking systems, where network nodes are aware of information delivered and thus can not only forward data packets but m...
