A paper titled “Quantum advantage in zero-error function computation with side information” was accepted to the IEEE Trans. on Information Theory. Congratulations, Ruoyu!

A paper titled “Leveraging partial stragglers within gradien coding” co-authored with Ruoyu Meng and Vrinda S. Girimaji has been accepted to the 2024 NeurIPS conference, Main Track. The acceptance rate was 25.8% (out of 15671 submissions).

Aditya was named a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Information Theory Society for 2024-2025.

A paper titled “Detection and Mitigation of Byzantine Attacks in Distributed Learning” co-authored with Konstantinos Konstantinidis and Namrata Vaswani has been accepted to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.

A paper titled “Distributed Matrix Computations with low-weight encodings” co-authored with Anindya B. Das, David Love and Christopher Brinton has been accepted to the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Information Theory.

Konstantinos, popularly known as Kostas recently defended his Ph.D. and will be starting a full-time position at C3AI soon. During his Ph.D., he interned at C3AI and at Facebook in successive summers. Best of luck to Kostas in his future endeavors!

The group had papers accepted to the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Information Theory JSAIT and the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. The respective papers are available from the Publications page.
