This paper describes our approach to the 2006 Adhoc Monolingual Information Retrieval run for French. The goal of our experiment was to compare the performance of a proposed stati...
In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...
This paper introduces mNCD, a method for automatic evaluation of machine translations. The measure is based on normalized compression distance (NCD), a general information theoret...
We consider non-malleable (NM) and universally composable (UC) commitment schemes in the common reference string (CRS) model. We show how to construct non-interactive NM commitmen...
We study the following two kinds of one-way hash functions: universal oneway hash functions (UOHs) and collision intractable hash functions (CIHs). The main property of the former...
