Based on the thermodynamic concept of a reservoir, we investigate a computational model for interaction with unresolved degrees of freedom (a thermal bath). We assume that a finite...
Currently in document retrieval there are many algorithms each with different strengths and weakness. There is some difficulty, however, in evaluating the impact of the test quer...
The Mixed Raster Content (MRC) ITU document compression standard (T.44) specifies a multilayer decomposition model for compound documents into two contone image layers and a binar...
When disseminating data involving human subjects, researchers have to weigh in the requirements of privacy of the individuals involved in the data. A model widely used for enhancin...
Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) often fail to exploit sharing between Boolean functions that differ only in their support variables. In a memory circuit, for example, the function...
