Time-parameterized queries (TP queries for short) retrieve (i) the actual result at the time that the query is issued, (ii) the validity period of the result given the current mot...
Abstract--In linear programming (LP) decoding of a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code one minimizes a linear functional, with coefficients related to log-likelihood ratios, over ...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
—In this paper we present a novel approach for fast search of handwritten Arabic word-parts within large lexicons. The algorithm runs through three steps to achieve the required ...
