Network coding allows distributed information sources such as sensors to
efficiently compress and transmit data to distributed receivers across a
bandwidth-limited network. Classical network coding is largely task-agnostic --
the coding schemes mainly aim to faithfully reconstruct data at the receivers,
regardless of what ultimate task the received data is used for. In this paper,
we analyze a new task-driven network coding problem, where distributed
receivers pass transmitted data through machine learning (ML) tasks, which
provides an opportunity to improve …
