Beyond text however, most social media platforms have images at their core, and communication of images may require quantization. Here, we develop methods and present results on understanding the association between the visual content features of images on the popular social media platform Instagram and the psycholinguistic sentiment of their hashtag descriptors. In particular, we collect several thousand images and analyze several aspects of color to predict image sentiment. These results affirm and clarify several psychological theories on the relationship between color and mood/emotion, such as colorfulness being associated with happiness. The data-driven psychovisual insights into sentiment developed herein can be used to define novel fidelity criteria for designing color quantization schemes.","PeriodicalId":247812,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT)","volume":"39 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121281158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results include an information transmission scheme, and an algorithm to decode molecular information signals. We also analyze the system based on realistic propagation models obtained from experimental apparatus. Finally, we demonstrate reliable communication with multiple access by using this scheme.","PeriodicalId":247812,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114244173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Major performance metrics for distributed storage codes are low repair locality, low encoding/decoding complexity and systematic encoding. In this work, we first evaluate the role of different encoded symbol degrees in ensuring low decoding overhead and low edge complexity. Then we propose the Truncated Poisson Distribution (TPD) to satisfy most of the identified distribution characteristics. To improve the overall symbol connectivity and hence achieve better decoding performance, we suggest a degree supplement to the TPD. The simulation results show that the proposed degree distribution achieves improved decoding performance when compared to using the well-known Robust Soliton Distribution (RSD) for generating encoded symbols in a systematic encoding scenario.","PeriodicalId":247812,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT)","volume":"161 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127578384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We consider a scenario where all users simultaneously transmit signals to the relay in the up-link stage while the relay broadcasts a coded message in the down-link stage. In order to extract the network codes from superimposed signals and guarantee a low decoding complexity, we propose a novel SIC scheme at the relay node to iteratively estimate the signals from all users. A Max-Min strategy is introduced as an optimal solution to power allocation among users to ensure accurate estimation in the SIC process. In addition, to further improve the system performance, an optimal strategy that decides the coding rule is developed by considering the error probability of the SIC process. Simulation results demonstrate the performance improvement of the proposed SIC aided PNC technique when used in conjunction with the optimal power allocation and coding rule in multi-way relay channels.","PeriodicalId":247812,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127658937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quorum sensing allows bacteria to estimate the density of their local population, and coordinate gene expression accordingly. Understanding and modeling of quorum sensing regulation can pave the way to the design of nano-networks and, in particular, of communication and coordination schemes among large numbers of nano-machines that need to perform collective decisions based on their local density. In this paper, the performance of population density estimation via quorum sensing is investigated. The distribution of local autoinducers within each cell is derived in closed form, for an asymptotic scenario of large cell population. Based on it, the maximum likelihood estimator is derived, and is compared numerically to a low-complexity estimator. It is shown that the mean squared error of the low-complexity estimator closely approaches that of the maximum-likelihood estimator, and is thus suitable in computationally constrained nano-machines.","PeriodicalId":247812,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT)","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133016476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lognormal weak turbulence channel is assumed. First, the problem of node placement is formulated as a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. Then, according to the priority of each user, the multi-objective problem is simplified to a constrained single-objective problem where the objective function is the sum of the weighted outage probabilities of all the users. Iteration is applied to obtain the optimal node placement solution. More importantly, as a generalization of prior results, we deduce that the optimal node placement in high signal-to-noise ratio scenario is irrelevant to the number of users or the priority of users.

However, most hierarchical approaches exploit only the last level in the hierarchy, or provide a multiscale representation that holds a significant amount of redundancy. We argue that removing redundancy across the multiple levels of abstraction is important for an efficient representation of compositionality in object-based representations. With the perspective of feature learning as a data compression operation, we propose a new greedy inference algorithm for hierarchical sparse coding. Convolutional matching pursuit with a L0-norm constraint was used to encode the input signal into compact and non-redundant codes distributed across levels of the hierarchy. Simple and complex synthetic datasets of temporal signals were created to evaluate the encoding efficiency and compare with the theoretical lower bounds on the information rate for those signals. Empirical evidence have shown that the algorithm is able to infer near-optimal codes for simple signals. However, it failed for complex signals with strong overlapping between objects. We explain the inefficiency of convolutional matching pursuit that occurred in such case. This brings new insights about the NP-hard optimization problem related to using L0-norm constraint in inferring optimally compact and distributed object-based representations.","PeriodicalId":247812,"journal":{"name":"2017 15th Canadian Workshop on Information Theory (CWIT)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133285035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
