New method for channel simulation aids compression and privacy

Researchers have developed a new method for simulating discrete-to-continuous channels, which can be applied to compression and privacy tasks. This approach uses a fixed number of random samples, making its runtime independent of the channel and input, unlike previous methods that could require an infinite number of samples. The scheme offers a flexible trade-off between sample count and compression rate, and has been demonstrated for variable-rate compression with VQ-VAEs and differentially private distributed mean estimation using the Gaussian mechanism.

    Scalable Discrete-to-Continuous Channel Simulation for Compression and Privacy

    arXiv:2609.12067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Channel simulation has recently emerged as a useful component in machine learning systems where samples from a prescribed probability distribution are to be compressed. Yet, general channel simulation algorithms often suffer from hi…
