Abstract. The processing steps required for geographic information retrieval include many steps that are common to all forms of information retrieval, e.g. stopword filtering, ste...
The maximisation of information transmission over noisy channels is a common, albeit generally computationally difficult problem. We approach the difficulty of computing the mutua...
A prototype device is described that allows a user to understand and contemplate the inner workings of a common home appliance, the refrigerator. The device monitors select physic...
The selection of features for classification, clustering and approximation is an important task in pattern recognition, data mining and soft computing. For real-valued features, th...
