This paper presents a new unit selection process for Very Low Bit Rate speech encoding around 500 bits/sec. The encoding is based on speech recognition and speech synthesis technol...
A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
We provide a complete characterization of the rate-distortion region for the multistage successive refinement of the Wyner-Ziv source coding problem with degraded side information...
Background: Metagenomics is an approach to the characterization of microbial genomes via the direct isolation of genomic sequences from the environment without prior cultivation. ...

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...
