Abstract. The optimization and design of two different types of photonic devices - a Fibre Bragg Grating and a Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibre is presented in light of multi...

Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
Standard runlength-limiting codes – nonlinear codes defined by trellises – have the disadvantage that they disconnect the outer errorcorrecting code from the bit-by-bit likeli...
We consider probabilistic inference in general hybrid networks, which include continuous and discrete variables in an arbitrary topology. We reexamine the question of variable dis...
Preference learning is a challenging problem that involves the prediction of complex structures, such as weak or partial order relations, rather than single values. In the recent ...
