The issue of software patents is widely discussed in Europe today. The standard economic rationale for patents is to protect potential innovators from imitation, which ultimately ...
Programmers often create similar code snippets or reuse existing code snippets by copying and pasting. Code clones —syntactically and semantically similar code snippets—can ca...
In [6], Gallager introduces a family of codes based on sparse bipartite graphs, which he calls low-density parity-check codes. He suggests a natural decoding algorithm for these c...

An (r, , )-locally decodable code encodes a k-bit message x to an N-bit codeword C(x), such that for every i [k], the i-th message bit can be recovered with probability 1 - , by ...
Tables on web pages contain a huge amount of semantically explicit information, which makes them a worthwhile target for automatic information extraction and knowledge acquisition...
