Oblivious transfer (OT) is an important primitive in cryptography. In chosen one-out-of-two string OT, a sender offers two strings, one of which the other party, called the receive...
The Noise Sensitivity Signature (NSS), originally introduced by Grossman and Lapedes (1993), was proposed as an alternative to cross validation for selecting network complexity. I...
Primary B+ -tree, a variant of B+ -tree structure with row data in leaf blocks, is an ideal storage organization for queries involving exact match and/or range search on primary k...
— Many image compression techniques require the quantization of multiple vector sources with significantly different distributions. With vector quantization (VQ), these sources ...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
