Many algorithms and data structures employing hashing have been analyzed under the uniform hashing assumption, i.e., the assumption that hash functions behave like truly random fu...
—One widely used mechanism for representing membership of a set of items is the simple space-efficient randomized data structure known as Bloom filters. Yet, Bloom filters are no...
This paper addresses the issue of extracting contexts and answers of questions from post discussion of online forums. We propose a novel and unified model by customizing the struc...
Abstract--The main contribution of this work is a new paradigm for image representation and image compression. We describe a new multilayered representation technique for images. A...
An explicit spline representation of smooth free-form surfaces is combined with a hierarchy of meshes to form the basis of an interactive sculpting environment. The environment of...
