Abstract
- We establish two strong senses of universality of logarithmic loss as a distortion criterion in lossy compression: For any fixed length lossy compression problem under an arbitrary distortion criterion, we show that there is an equivalent lossy compression problem under logarithmic loss. In the successive refinement problem, if the first decoder operates under logarithmic loss, we show that any discrete memoryless source is successively refinable under an arbitrary distortion criterion for the second decoder.
