A rateless code encodes a finite length information word into an infinitely long codeword such that longer prefixes of the codeword can tolerate a larger fraction of errors. A rateless code achieves capacity for a family of channels if, for every channel in the family, reliable communication is obtained by a prefix of…

Neural networks seem to be able to handle almost any task they face. This feat involves coping efficiently with different data types, at multiple scales, and with varying statistical properties. Here, we show that this so-called optimal coding can occur at the single-neuron level and does not require adaptation.…

The current flash memory technology focuses on the cost minimization of its static storage capacity. However, the resulting approach supports a relatively small number of program-erase cycles. This technology is effective for consumer devices (e.g., smartphones and cameras) where the number of program-erase cycles is…

Deciphering the neural code requires identifying its fundamental symbols or code-words. Neural activity is usually interpreted either as a rate code – based on average spike counts – or as a temporal code, which distinguishes patterns with identical counts. Yet, the symbols of the code remain undefined. Here we show…

A code is generally defined as a system of signals or symbols for communication. Experimental evidence is synthesized for the presence and utility of such communication in heart rate variability (HRV) with particular attention to fetal HRV: HRV contains signatures of information flow between the organs and of response…

'Sam Kwong'] Abstract—The forthcoming Versatile Video Coding (VVC) standard adopts the trellis-coded quantization, which leverages the delicate trellis graph to map the quantization candidates within one block into the optimal path. Despite the high compression efficiency, the complex trellis search with soft decision…

Background Barcode multiplexing is a key strategy for sharing the rising capacity of next-generation sequencing devices: Synthetic DNA tags, called barcodes, are attached to natural DNA fragments within the library preparation procedure. Different libraries, can individually be labeled with barcodes for a joint…

High efficiency video coding (HEVC) seeks the best code tree configuration, the best prediction unit division and the prediction mode, by evaluating the rate-distortion functional in a recursive way and using a “try all and select the best” strategy. Further, HEVC only supports context adaptive binary arithmetic coding…

'Arthur Nascimento' 'Francisco Madeiro' 'Steve Vanlanduit'] Vector Quantization (VQ) is a technique with a wide range of applications. For example, it can be used for image compression. The codebook design for VQ has great significance in the quality of the quantized signals and can benefit from the use of swarm…

—We study the decision-making process for choosing video compression systems through a rate-distortion- complexity (RDC) analysis. We discuss the 2D Bjontegaard delta (BD) metric and formulate generalizations in an attempt to extend its notions to the 3D RDC volume. We follow that discussion with another one on the…

'SangBum Kim' 'Matthew BrightSky' 'Chung Lam' 'Hsiang-Lan Lung' 'Bruno A. Olshausen' 'H. -S. Philip Wong'] Exponential growth in data generation and large-scale data science has created an unprecedented need for inexpensive, low-power, low-latency, high-density information storage. This need has motivated significant…

The X circular code is a set of 20 trinucleotides (codons) that has been identified in the protein-coding genes of most organisms (bacteria, archaea, eukaryotes, plasmids, viruses). It has been shown previously that the X circular code has the important mathematical property of being an error-correcting code. Thus…

This work describes a competing activation network, which is regulated by chemical feedback at the liquid-surface interface. Feedback loops dynamically tune the concentration of chemical components in living systems, thereby controlling regulatory processes in neural, genetic, and metabolic networks. Advances in…

Circular codes represent a form of coding allowing detection/correction of frameshift errors. Building on recent theoretical advances on circular codes, we provide evidence that protein coding sequences exhibit in-frame circular code marks, that are absent in introns and are intimately linked to the keto-amino…

This paper introduces simple phenomenological rate theory from the perspective of molecular interconversions and then applies it, in the form of Transition State Theory, to processes such as atomic diffusion and thermally-activated crystal growth in condensed matter composed of very large numbers of atoms or molecules.…

A code is presented for fast, easy and efficient communication over channels that allow only two signal types: a single sound (e.g. a knock), or no sound (i.e. silence). This is a true binary code while Morse code is a ternary code and does not work in such situations. Thus the presented code is more universal than…

In the framework of coding theory, under the assumption of a Markov process $(X_{t})$ on a finite alphabet $A,$ the compressed representation of the data will be composed of a description of the model used to code the data and the encoded data. Given the model, the Huffman’s algorithm is optimal for the number of bits…

Two kinetic schemes of the general modifier mechanism have been analysed in a quasi-steady state approximation, assuming that the reaction product concentration is negligible (a natural assumption for the initial rate method) and without additional simplifying assumptions. The characteristic equations have been…

“Neural coding” is a popular metaphor in neuroscience, where objective properties of the world are communicated to the brain in the form of spikes. Here I argue that this metaphor is often inappropriate and misleading. First, when neurons are said to encode experimental parameters, the implied communication channel…
