Gaussian Approximation of Quantization Error for Estimation from Compressed Data

Alon Kipnis, Galen Reeves

英文摘要:

We consider the distributional connection between the lossy compressed representation of a high-dimensional signal $X$ using a random spherical code and the observation of $X$ under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). We show that the Wasserstein distance between a bitrate-$R$ compressed version of $X$ and its observation under an AWGN-channel of signal-to-noise ratio $2^{2R}-1$ is sub-linear in the problem dimension. We utilize this fact to connect the risk of an estimator based on an AWGN-corrupted version of $X$ to the risk attained by the same estimator when fed with its bitrate-$R$ quantized version. We demonstrate the usefulness of this connection by deriving various novel results for inference problems under compression constraints, including minimax estimation, sparse regression, compressed sensing, and the universality of linear estimation in remote source coding.
