All paradoxes of self-reference seem to share some structural features. Russell in 1908 and especially Priest nowadays have advanced structural descriptions that successfully ident...
Given a unlabelled set of points X ∈ RN belonging to k groups, we propose a method to identify cluster assignments that provides maximum separating margin among the clusters. We...
Abstract--We adapt methods originally developed in information and coding theory to solve some testing problems. The efficiency of two-stage pool testing of items is characterized ...
Abstract--We consider visible compression for discrete memoryless sources of mixed quantum states when only classical information can be sent from Alice to Bob. We assume that Bob ...
