TLDR
The Dobrushin-Tsybakov reduction of this problem to a direct one is shown to follow at once from a "disconnection principle" for conditional expectations.
Abstract
The output of a source, the first of the two arguments of a distortion function, is seen by an encoder through a noisy channel. A decoder sees the encoder's signal through the usual communication channel. The second argument of the distortion function is obtained from the decoder's output via another noisy channel. The Dobrushin-Tsybakov reduction of this problem to a direct one is shown to follow at once from a "disconnection principle" for conditional expectations. The same principle applies to more general situations such as i) dependence between the noise variables acting in the input and output channels and ii) side information available only at the decoder.

Network Information Theory

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive treatment of network information theory and its applications is provided, which provides the first unified coverage of both classical and recent results, including successive cancellation and superposition coding, MIMO wireless communication, network coding and cooperative relaying.

Quantization

TL;DR: The key to a successful quantization is the selection of an error criterion – such as entropy and signal-to-noise ratio – and the development of optimal quantizers for this criterion.

Statistical-model-based speech enhancement systems

TL;DR: A unified statistical approach for the three basic problems of speech enhancement is developed, using composite source models for the signal and noise and a fairly large set of distortion measures.

Filtering of colored noise for speech enhancement and coding

TL;DR: The results indicate that the colored noise Kalman filters provide a significant gain in signal-to- noise ratio (SNR), a visible improvement in the sound spectrogram, and an audible improvement in output speech quality, none of which are available with white-noise-assumption Kalman and Wiener filters.

The rate-distortion function for source coding with side information at the decoder

TL;DR: The quantity R \ast (d) is determined, defined as the infimum ofrates R such that communication is possible in the above setting at an average distortion level not exceeding d + \varepsilon .

Transmission of noisy information to a noisy receiver with minimum distortion

TL;DR: The criterion for optimality is that the normalized average of the squared norm of the difference between the T - second undistorted source sample and the corresponding T -second sample delivered to the final destination be minimum.

On policy independence of conditional expectations

TL;DR: The case of general information structures is considered and the assertion is justified for countable decision spaces and arbitrary probability spaces and also, in a weaker sense, for probabilities of countable support and arbitrary decision spaces.
