This paper introduces mNCD, a method for automatic evaluation of machine translations. The measure is based on normalized compression distance (NCD), a general information theoret...
Given two infinite binary sequences A, B we say that B can compress at least as well as A if the prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity relative to B of any binary string is at most as ...
Background: Traditional genome alignment methods consider sequence alignment as a variation of the string edit distance problem, and perform alignment by matching characters of th...
Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic imaging is a potentially valuable tool for diagnosing breast and prostate cancer, but its clinical deployment is limited due to lo...
Generic Haskell is an extension of Haskell that supports the construction of generic programs. These lecture notes discuss three advanced generic programming applications: generic ...
