Lossy Source Coding and Model Identification: Connection with Zero-Rate Density Estimation and the Skeleton Estimator

This work demonstrates a formal connection between density estimation with a data-rate constraint and the joint objective of fixed-rate universal lossy source coding and model identification.

Universal Weak Variable-Length Source Coding on Countably Infinite Alphabets

This work introduces the notion of almost lossless source coding for infinite alphabets information sources.

Almost Lossless Universal Source Coding over Envelope Families

This talks covers the analysis of worse-case redundancies in universal source coding in infinite alphabets.
