We extend the lower bounds on the complexity of computing Betti numbers proved in [6] to complex algebraic varieties. More precisely, we first prove that the problem of deciding ...
Live closed-captions for deaf and hard of hearing audiences are currently produced by stenographers, or by voice writers using speech recognition. Both techniques can produce capt...

We show how to embed a 3-connected planar graph with n vertices as a 3-polytope with small integer coordinates. The coordinates are bounded by O(27.55n ). The crucial part is the ...
Abstract In the analysis of any unconstrained document image it is necessary to first decide what the main area of interest is. Previous work has been done on simply removing the ...

— A spiking neural network model is used to identify characters in a character set. The network is a two layered structure consisting of integrate-and-fire and active dendrite n...
