Abstract:This paper is concerned with the lossy compression of general random variables, specifically with rate-distortion theory and quantization of random variables taking values in general measurable spaces such as, e.g., manifolds and fractal sets. Manifold structures are prevalent in data science, e.g., in compressed sensing, machine learning, image processing, and handwritten digit recognition. Fractal sets find application in image compression and in the modeling of Ethernet traffic. Our main contributions are b… Show more
