We study error-correcting codes for highly noisy channels. For example, every received signal in the channel may originate from some half of the symbols in the alphabet. Our main c...
This paper presents a line of research in genetic algorithms (GAs), called building-block identification. The building blocks (BBs) are common structures inferred from a set of sol...
In scientific computing environments, large amounts of floating-point data often need to be transferred between computers as well as to and from storage devices. Compression can r...
We revisit the problem of conveying classical messages by transmitting quantum states, and derive new, optimal bounds on the number of quantum bits required for this task. Much of...
The idea of representing images using a bag of visual words is currently popular in object category recognition. Since this representation is typically constructed using unsupervi...
