Title: 2018/04/20(五) 14:20 - Prof. Stefano Rini (Dept. of ECE, NCTU) -A brief introduction to source coding and some novel results
Topic：A brief introduction to source coding and some novel results
Date&Time：2018/04/20(五) 14:20
Speaker：李冕 助理教授(Prof. Stefano Rini(Dept. of ECE, NCTU))
Location：清華大學台達館 R216
Abstract:
We will review the topic of source coding and provide some key results on the compression of information sources to within a prescribed distortion.
We will consider, in particular, the multiterminal remote source coding problem in which a source is estimated from the output of multiple encoders, each having access only to a noisy observation of the source. The underlying source is then estimated at a central location from the output of the encoders. We provide some novel results on the performance of oblivious schemes in which the source is compressed without the knowledge of the joint statistics of the source and the observation but only the statistical knowledge of the source.
Biography:
Dr. Stefano Rini is an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National Chiao-Tung University (NCTU), Taiwan. He received the B.A. degree in computer science from the Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2005, the M.S. degree in both Electrical and Computer Engineering and Statistics from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2009. He earned his doctoral degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois in Chicago (UIC) in 2011, with adviser Professor Tuninetti and co-adviser Professor Devroye, with a thesis titled "Cognition and Cooperation in Wireless Networks: an Information Theoretic Perspective". In 2012, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Communications Engineering at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany with Professor Kramer. In 2013 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University with Professor Goldsmith. In 2014 he joined NCTU.
