On Some New Approaches to Practical Slepian-Wolf Compression Inspired by Channel Coding
We introduce three new innovations for compression using LDPCs for the Slepian-Wolf problem. The first is a general iterative Slepian-Wolf decoding algorithm that incorporates the...

A Practical Use of Imperfect Recall
Perfect recall is the common and natural assumption that an agent never forgets. As a consequence, the agent can always condition its choice of action on any prior observations. I...
