Abstract
We argue that, as the amount of data that we need to transport, store and protect expands, there is a growing trend to (hyper-)specialize the techniques for information flow, compression and security, by tailoring them to the task purpose. We will present examples of this trend in our work that include pliable index coding, distortion security, task-aware compression, and community aware group testing.
