This paper presents a novel vector quantizer (VQ) design algorithm for a burst error channel (BEC). The algorithm minimizes the average distortion when the BEC is in normal state o...
There are many local and greedy algorithms for energy minimization over Markov Random Field (MRF) such as iterated condition mode (ICM) and various gradient descent methods. Local ...
A linear wirelength objective more e ectively captures timing, congestion, and other global placement considerations than a squared wirelength objective. The GORDIAN-L cell placem...

One of the most critical issues that remains to be fully addressed in existing multimodal evolutionary algorithms is the difficulty in pre-specifying parameters used for estimatin...
Background: The hierarchical clustering tree (HCT) with a dendrogram [1] and the singular value decomposition (SVD) with a dimension-reduced representative map [2] are popular met...
