• Logarithmic loss
• lossy compression
• multiterminal source coding
• rate-distortion
• rate region

We consider the classical two-encoder multiterminal source coding problem where distortion is measured under logarithmic loss. We provide a single-letter description of the achievable rate distortion region for all discrete memoryless sources with finite alphabets. By doing so, we also give the rate distortion region for the m-encoder CEO problem (also under logarithmic loss). Several applications and examples are given.
