Biography

Jiming Yu's Ph. D. research was about the bidirectional modeling of finite-alphabet sources from both theoretical and algorithmic points of views, with applications to information theoretic problems such as universal discrete denoising, universal estimation of erasure entropy and universal lossless compression of erased symbols. He obtained his M. A. degree in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 2004, and his B. E. degree in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, P. R. CHINA in 2002.
