Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

Yunus Inan

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Optimized Quantization in Distributed Graph Signal Processing

Pascal Frossard, Isabela Cunha Maia Nobre

Distributed graph signal processing methods require that the graph nodes communicate by exchanging messages. These messages have a finite precision in a realistic network, which may necessitate to implement quantization. Quantization, in turn, generates er ...

Quantization Design for Distributed Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Ye Pu

We consider the problem of solving a distributed optimization problem using a distributed computing platform, where the communication in the network is limited: each node can only communicate with its neighbors and the channel has a limited data-rate. A co ...
